🎉 New Features
Video synchronization
Uploaded (pre-recorded) videos are now synchronized for all members that join the event! Altar Live turns the viewing experience into a simulated live experience. If someone joins after the event has started, their video will begin to play where everyone else is watching.
New lobby layout
Check out a new look for tables in the lobby!

Collapsed view
To make it easier to move between tables and see who else is seated in the lobby, table view now collapses.

One minute countdown before the event ends
Ending an event is now less abrupt. When the Host ends the event, online participants now receive a 1 minute countdown timer notifying them that the event is ending.
