Huddles (originally Clash, Byte (via Acquisition), and later Huddles) was an American short-form video hosting service and creator monetization platform social network where users could create looping videos between 2–16 seconds long.

It was created by a team led by Brendon McNerney and PJ Leimgruber who formerly worked together at NeoReach, Inc. Dom Hofmann was involved as the architect of much of the code, as the founder of Byte, a successor to Vine, which Hofmann co-founded, until the project was sold to Clash App, Inc., and subsequently renamed.

[12] Byte was officially launched to the public on the iOS and Android platforms in over 40 countries on January 24, 2020,[13] with the tagline "creativity first".

[14][15] In the media Byte was referred to as a direct competitor to TikTok and Likee, similar video sharing platforms popular with teens.

[24] On May 3, 2023, Huddles announced its discontinuation as a standalone service via a series of tweets[25] and a Medium blog post.

Huddles allowed users to publish videos between 2–16 seconds long, either captured through the app or previously recorded and stored on their devices.

The main home screen used to feature a scrollable feed of content from accounts that the user was following.

[citation needed] The app also featured a search screen with tiles for popular and latest content along with video categories like comedy, animation and others.
