Social video startup Streamweaver released a major update to its free  iOS app today that makes it even easier for people to record a single video using the combined angles from each iOS device’s camera.

Streamweaver makes video recording a collaborative process that’s similar in scope to a broadcast news team. But instead of using 2-4 cameramen shooting a different angle, Streamweaver uses people with iPhones to sync up when recording 60 seconds of a specific event at the same time — thus eliminating the laborious and time-intensive process of video editing. Once the recording is finished, each iPhone user’s camera angle can be customized into various split-screen views within seconds. The service should prove pretty useful for capturing sporting events, concerts, and other performances.

The startup initially launched a beta version of the app back in September 2012, which was entirely devoted to the multi-camera recording functionality via iOS devices. The recent update, however, really builds out Streamweaver as a fully functional social network. Both the app and the newly launched desktop website allow you to access a feed of popular videos created by other users, a timeline of all your previously created videos, user profiles and the ability to edit videos from the desktop. But one of the bigger changes is a new location-based, simplified method of connecting with other users to record a multi-angle video. Basically, you’ll be able to connect whenever friends or family are within proximity to you rather than having to accept them.

“After listening to our base of users and looking at the process, we just decided that having Streamweaver sync automatically when you’re around other people just made more sense,” Streamweaver COO Jay Hake told VentureBeat. “It reduces the barrier to entry when you want to record a split-screen video.”

The presence of a full-fledged social network is a smart move for Streamweaver, which has plenty of competition from more popular social video apps like Viddy, Tout, and Klip. However, none of those services can offer the multi-angle/camera split-screen video functionality, which gives it an advantage. (The only social video service that offers a comparable split-screen experience is Vyclone.)

Hake said that the startup isn’t in a rush to add heavy integration with major social networks, specifically Facebook’s Open Graph. Yet, the updated app does include the ability to sync your Streamweaver account with YouTube, thus allowing your videos to gain traction virtually anywhere. Previously, the sharing functionality sent out a link to a webpage where the video was hosted.

Founded in 2012, the Nashville, Tenn.-based startup currently has seven full-time employees. Streamweaver has previously raised $1.3 million in funding to date from former Facebook chief security officer Chris Kelly, Byron Smith, INCITE Co-investment Fund, Tennessee Community Ventures, and Mountain Group Capital.

Popular social video chat app ooVoo has added a new feature called “Watch Together” that lets up to 11 people watch a YouTube video and video chat at the same time.

New York City-based ooVoo claims to have more than 70 million registered users, and comScore estimates the service has 25 million monthly active users. Just a few months ago, it said it was adding 1 million users every two weeks. About 65 percent of the apps’ are under 25 years old.

ooVoo President Jay Samit told me Watch Together was the app’s most requested feature among its young audience was the ability, and something that Google+ has offered with its Hangouts feature for quite some time. The big difference? Hangouts only lets you watch a video with nine of your friends while ooVoo bumps that up to 10. ooVoo also lets up to 12 people video chat at the same time, so the the app replaces one of the people with the video. It sounds like fun because you can see the reactions of your friends or family while you watch videos.

“Watch Together was the most requested feature by our users,” Samit said. “You can laugh together and share together. It’s as simple as that.”

The Watch Together feature also allows users to search for YouTube videos inside ooVoo video chat or let any chat member change the video or adjust playback. It also displays trending YouTube videos and popular videos among ooVoo users for easier selection.

Watch Together will be “available initially” for users of ooVoo’s Windows client. It will likely come later for Mac, iOS, and Android versions of ooVoo.
