With COVID-19 case numbers still growing and other countries restricting who can and cannot cross their borders, we may not be able to travel abroad for a while. Heck, its not a great idea to travel, period. But being stuck at home and bored with your surroundings doesnt mean you cant experience a different view.
WindowSwap is a website that instantly transports you to a video view from someone elses window, somewhere else in the world. Simply go to the site, click the button, and enjoy the sights and sounds from far-flung places like San Francisco, Singapore, Bangalore and Montreal.
The video will pop up in a new window. Each view includes a credit with the uploaders name and location, and you can easily jump to another view (selected at random) by clicking that option at the bottom of your screen. This means you can spend all day travelling around the world while sitting on your own couch in front of your own boring window.
Because the window views on WindowSwap include sound, youll get the full immersive experience of being in someone elses space complete with the birds chirping, plates banging and buses driving by in the background.
You can also submit the view from your own window to be included in the tool. All you need is a 10-minute, horizontal HD video of your view, which youll send to
