Live Gender Reveal Experience

A video reveal is pre-recorded and watched asynchronously — guests watch it at different times, often alone, and learn the gender before others. A live reveal on RevealTogether happens at a specific scheduled time when every participant watches simultaneously. The countdown, the reveal, and the reactions all occur in the same shared moment, making it emotionally equivalent to being in the same room — regardless of location.

Set a reveal date and time when creating your event. RevealTogether counts down to that moment. Share the link with guests and ask them to open it before the scheduled time. Our servers trigger the reveal simultaneously on every connected device when the countdown reaches zero — the host does not need to take any action at reveal time. It is entirely automated and perfectly synchronized.

Yes. Run a video call on Zoom, FaceTime, or WhatsApp alongside each guest's individual RevealTogether link. Ask everyone to keep their cameras on during the countdown. When the reveal fires, you will see the entire video grid react in real time — the tears, the jumping, the screaming. It is the closest thing to being physically present at a traditional reveal party.

RevealTogether's synchronization uses NTP (Network Time Protocol) alignment with a maximum observed drift of under 500 milliseconds across all connected devices worldwide. In practice, everyone sees the reveal within half a second of each other — far tighter than any human reaction time difference between guests watching the same screen.

No. Your doctor or midwife provides the gender information, and you enter it into RevealTogether yourself when creating the event. The platform locks it behind the countdown — even the host cannot see it before the reveal fires. The animated reveal plays for everyone, including you, at the exact scheduled moment. Many families use this for a "surprise to parents" format where neither parent knows until the countdown ends.
