Tandem

Two videos.
One conversation.

A Tandem plays a creator’s response on top of another creator’s video, perfectly in sync. Nothing gets copied or reuploaded, so creators can react freely and fans see the whole exchange.

Anatomy of a Tandem

What is a Tandem?

Two separate videos that play as one. Pick a layout and see how it looks.

  1. The base videoThe original, streamed live from its creator’s own channel. It is never copied, cut or reuploaded.
  2. The response layerThe responding creator’s own footage, and nothing else. Always outlined in orange so you know who is talking.
  3. One synced timelineEach response clip is pinned to the exact moment it answers. Pause, scrub or skip, and both stay in step.
  4. Credit for bothBoth creators are named on every Tandem, and the view counts on the original creator’s channel too.

Why a Tandem can’t get you struck.

A reaction reupload
  • Their footage is copied into your file
  • The view counts only for you
  • One claim can put your channel at risk
A Tandem
  • Your file holds only your footage
  • The original streams from its own channel and gets the view
  • Nothing was copied, so there is nothing to strike
For creators

Make one in three steps.
