excuse me. v0.2.0 — Watch together
Private video calling over your own network.
Downloads
- macOS (Apple Silicon):
excuse me-0.2.0-arm64.dmg - Windows 10/11 (x64):
excuse me Setup 0.2.0.exe
New in 0.2.0
- Watch together — paste a YouTube link (from the share picker) to play it in sync for the whole room. Everyone streams directly from YouTube at full quality; whoever starts it controls play / pause / seek, and late joiners jump to the current spot. Only playback commands cross the encrypted data channel.
- Mic / camera / speaker selection with a live mic waveform (in the Audio & video panel).
- Whiteboard — 7 preset colors + a custom color picker, clearer brush sizes, tool-aware cursor, and PNG export.
- Copy meeting code now copies just the code (via the native clipboard).
- Screen-share system audio works across platforms where the OS allows loopback capture.
Fixes
- The packaged app no longer gets killed on launch by macOS (it was being signed with an Apple Development certificate Gatekeeper rejects). Builds are now ad-hoc signed.
- Camera/mic permission is requested up front on macOS.
First-run notes
- Unsigned builds: on macOS, if you see "Apple could not verify…", open System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway (works now). On Windows, choose More info → Run anyway.
- macOS asks for Camera, Microphone and (for hosts) Local Network permission — allow all three.
- Intel Mac build available on request (
