Houseparty is the video calling app everyone's talking about. Yes, there's the regulars like WhatsApp, Messenger and Google Duo but since everyone's bored out of their wits, they've moved to Houseparty. The app is currently ranked fourth on App Store in India but it's topped Google Play Store.

Houseparty lets people easily join rooms (group calls) and leave them whenever they want. It supports up to eight people in one group video call. Users can also play games like Heads Up and Draw My Thing during the video call. If you've used House Party and would like to try other similar apps, here's a list for you.
