GroupTube 1.11 – Mill Game + MathPad + Improved Call and Settings

This update introduces three more games, the MathPad app, an improved video call, and a completely reworked Settings menu.

This update adds the Mill Game to GroupTube. There are two new Coin Flip and Dice Roll apps, and also the MathPad app that allows you to do calculations together. We've completely reworked the Settings Menu for ease of use, and also significantly improved the Voice and Video Call and your Media Controls.

Mill Game

The Mill Game, also known as Nine men's morris, is a strategy board game for two players. It's a true classic, just like Chess and Checkers. Enjoy challenging your friends to a match!

Improved Voice & Video Call + Screen Sharing

The Voice & Video Call interface has been improved, you can now select which videos are shown at full size and have a better view in general. This mainly involves the Desktop version, but also applies to the horizontal view on Mobile.

New Call Interface

We've also added new quick settings for your media devices (microphone, camera, screen, and also volume controls) so you can select your input devices and change settings as easily as possible

Reworked Settings Menu

We've also completely overhauled the Settings Menu. On Desktop, you now have a larger menu with the reorganized categories displayed on the left. Notably we've added a Keyboard Shortcuts Editor, so you can change the bindings on the new Media Hotkeys to your liking.

MathPad

If you have studied anything science related, you might know apps like MATLAB and Mathematica. Our new MathPad app is a simple implementation of this concept, but with a shared editor for you and your group. It uses Math.js under the hood for computation, algebra, and equation solving.

Coin Flip + Dice Roll

For a quick random decision, you can now use the Coin Flip app. If you fancy a bit more freedom, we have also implemented a Dice Roll app!

What's next?

GroupTube now has 15 different apps for you to use together with your group. In the near future we plan to implement support for YouTube Music, which lots of people ask for, and also for streaming services like Netflix, HBO, etc.

For the latter, support will require the usage of our Browser Extension, or the upcoming native Desktop app we are planning to release in a few months.
