The arrival of Covid-19 has not only revolutionized our lives, it has also allowed our imagination to run wild, in view of the restrictions that have been imposed to prevent contagion, such as physical contact.
In other circumstances, plans and projects would be deferred until the situation improves. However, since the situation has lasted longer than expected, it has been necessary to reinvent ourselves, in order to get ahead and continue with our lives.
Today, birthdays, weddings, graduations and other important events are still celebrated. Now it is possible to carry them out through electronic means. It is enough to download a program or an application to be able to be in contact with several people at the same time. In the rest your creativity comes into play.
The same applies to other types of entertainment. For example, in the case of people who enjoy going to nightclubs. Although it is true that they cannot do it in person, technology intervenes again, in this case, to offer the opportunity to enjoy the same environment from your own home, through the so-called virtual discos.
Have you heard of this new modality? Would you like to “attend” one? What are virtual clubs like? The idea may seem a little strange to you, but you can’t say no if you haven’t experienced it. Reading this article will give you a clearer vision of what you can find and thus you will feel more comfortable and in the atmosphere.
Therefore, do not stay bored at home. Plan a virtual disco night and invite your friends. Enjoy a different moment, in the midst of the monotony that the time of confinement has brought. Let’s see what you need for it and how you can do it from the privacy of your home.
Instructions for virtual clubs
As we have already mentioned, the era of virtual parties had its origin after the arrival of Covid-19 in our lives. This virus began to manifest itself strongly in China. Therefore, this was the first country to experience confinement and its consequences. Hence, its inhabitants will begin to think about how to have fun from home.
The Chinese used platforms similar to YouTube and Tiptop to set up massive parties online. In fact, in just one party, more than 2.3 million people joined something that would be practically impossible to do in a physical club.
In view of the success of this type of entertainment, it quickly spread to other countries in the world that have also been affected by the Coronavirus, such as Canada, where 4 young people organized a private party using the same platform. Currently, the project has 500 people in each edition, who share the same virtual space.
What do you need for virtual clubs?
Although it is true that virtual clubs are far from real ones, it is all a matter of imagination, but also of attitude. If you believe it, it is possible to do it and enjoy it.
To break the isolation and create an interaction that is real, you need to download Zoom on an electronic device. This app makes it possible for you to see and be seen by the party guests.
All the dancers appear on a mosaic made up of small screens that everyone can see. Even if their microphones are on mute, they may still be chatting with each other through a group chat, giving them a chance to get to know each other better.
The virtual disco has a DJ, who is in charge of playing very varied and cheerful music for guests of different profiles and tastes, which makes everyone enjoy this new digital party atmosphere.
To make the experience more real, you can use colored lights in a closed space of your house, such as your room, and accompany the music and dance with a drink of your choice. In order to feel more comfortable, it is possible to extend the invitation to your friends, who will surely also be able to enjoy this new experience.
In order to establish a certain degree of order, they have a start time and a finish time. In addition, in general, you need to get a ticket that gives you access to the streaming of the macro party at home. Since there are virtual clubs that limit the number of attendees to 1000 or less, the ideal is that you are aware of the moment in which the party is promoted so that you do not stay without attending.
Those who decide to party at these clubs dress in the same way as when they go to the club in a traditional physical format. While it is true that these parties do not look the same as the normal ones, the same cannot be said for the desire to have fun, since these remain completely intact.
With the arrival of these virtual parties, downloads of applications such as House party, Zoom, Messenger, Teams and Hangout has skyrocketed. In these applications, each person appears in a window within a group chat on the mobile phone, tablet or computer.
Of course, as expected, everything that starts as a kind of prototype has its errors and mistakes, but, over time, they are perfected until they reach an acceptable standard. The same has happened with virtual clubs.
These online proposals have reached the format of virtual streams; these are very creative initiatives that combine auditory and visual experiences. In addition, the adventure is possible to develop in just 24 hours.
The idea of going to a virtual nightclub, before the pandemic, would have been a totally absurd and unthinkable idea. However, that is the current reality that has made the time of confinement lived more bearable, both for young people and for those who are not so young anymore.
As expected, in order to live this experience, you must download some of the applications that make it possible. But how can you do it?
