Meetup alternative
For your own people, not a public group.
Meetup is built for public groups that strangers join, with organizers and a subscription. Most plans are smaller than that: the Thursday game, dinner with friends, a hike with the team. You need one link and to know who is really coming.
Free Β· nothing to install Β· sign in with a code or with Google
π
One link, no group to run
Create a hangout, send the link to the group chat. Nobody has to join a community or download anything.
π
It waits for enough people
Volleyball needs eight. Until eight are in, it is not on, so nobody drives to a half-empty court.
π
The place, in everyone's calendar
Once it is on, everyone gets the address, a directions link and a reminder an hour before.
π
Every week, by itself
Tick "every week" and next week's opens when this one is over.

How it works
1
Create a hangout
Say what, when and how many people it needs. Online or in person.
2
Share one link
People say they're in, and you see who is coming before it starts.
3
It goes ahead
Once enough are in, everyone gets the invite. Online, the room opens with video, chat and a game.
Questions people ask
Is this a replacement for Meetup?+

Can strangers join?+
Only if you make a hangout public. In person, hangouts are private by default.
Is it free?+
Yes.
Nobody shows up alone.
Create a hangout and send one link. It's on once your people are in.
