Watch the game with your people, not a comment section. Side Huddle is a room for the friends you already watch with — your group chat, your family, the six of you who have done this since college. Open it when the game starts and everyone turns up in the same place. WHAT A ROOM DOES • Every play, as it happens. Scores and the moments worth looking up for land in the room while you're still arguing about the last one. • Your friends, and only your friends. Rooms are private. No strangers, no replies from people you've never met. • See who's actually watching. A ring means they're in the room right now, not that they opened the app on Tuesday. • At the game? The people you're connected to see you're there. Your phone works out which stadium and sends only its name — never your coordinates, and nothing in the background. SPIN ONE UP IN A SECOND Any game on tonight's slate can become a room. Tap it and the room exists until 2am — no naming it, no setup, no dead group chat to mute next week. FACES, NOT JUST TEXT The camera shoots front and back at once: your reaction and what you're watching, in one shot, with the score burned in at the second it happened. It is the closest thing to being on the same couch. ASK THE COACH Injuries, who's hot, what just happened — ask inside the room and the answer arrives in the room, without opening five tabs. THE WHOLE SLATE NFL, college football, NBA, college basketball, MLB and NHL — live scores, and which of your people are watching each one. Side Huddle is free.
