Metastream vs Rabbit
CLOSEST to rabbit of all of these.fopsie best application to watch videos and streams together with friends, the UI/UX is just beautiful!It simply doesn't work most of the time, even for sharing YouTubefor youtube videos, you just paste the url on the chat box and ta-dah!Ginseng Requires an extension to be added into the browser for not only the host but also all viewers; doesn't use VMs as Rabb.it does, plus only some (not all) websites are supported. If you're watching a video on any website that isn't mainstream, then good luck on Metastream. For a more Rabb.it-like experience, I'd find other alternatives.JorgeFandez The thing that made rabb.it stand out was virtual machines, which metastream lackssashencat Only syncs video without providing a virtual browser or screenshare, requires extension to use - Share a virtual room with friends.

CyTube vs Rabbit
Videos flat do not sync, when they play at all.It's not the prettiest alternative, but it definitely includes a lot of features that Rabb.it didn't have. IMO it is almost perfect but doesn't provide screensharing; you have to either paste in the video url or upload a file.Cant cast a normal webpage
