Description

ZoomTube is an app to discretely watch Youtube videos on your device while looking like you are on a Zoom call.

Usage

If you would like to discretely browse youtube or watch a video while at work but make it seem like you are doing something useful, just open ZoomTube and enjoy your videos in peace while the rest of the office assumes you are on a zoom call.

How to use

  • Page will open defaulted to a single, camera-off zoom call
  • Toggle the Webcam icon in the bottom row on/off to show or hide your webcam.
  • Select the Participants icon on the bottom row to open a sidebar where you can search for a particular youtube video.
  • Edit the display names of your and the video's titles from the participants side bar as well.
  • Select the Chat icon in the bottom row to browse the selected Youtube video's comments (obviously only available if that particular youtube video has comments enabled)
  • The blue menu icon in the corner of the video and your displays on the main page provide options to rename / hide / or quick remove the youtube video.
  • The Leave button in the bottom right immediately removes the youtube video.
