Who doesn’t love a houseparty? Give $5 to the dude at the door, grab a (probably) clean red cup, explore the hot, overcrowded environs of a stranger’s home.

Or you could just stay in and try Houseparty: an app for video chatting with all your friends at once.

In the app, send out invites and add your pals. Then tap a button to invite them to video chat, or accept an invite to join an existing room.

You can chat with up to eight people at once, and you’ll get notified when friends are on the app.

Boom. Instant party, and you get to keep your $5.
