Tumblr wants you to 'hang out and watch stuff' on its new app, Cabana

While the world debates about whether Instagram is killing Snapchat or not, Tumblr has been quietly launching updates to its niche and loyal user base. The latest and biggest by far is Cabana, a new app to "hang out" and "watch videos" with your friends that the company announced on Tuesday.

Yahoo-owned Tumblr calls Cabana a "digital couch" that brings together video chat and streaming content. Up to 6 friends can simultaneously hop on a video call and watch a video together to "virtually hang out." The app allows users to video chat while watching YouTube videos together, in sync.
