It's good to see someone work on the one touch videchat problem. No one seems to do it well.

Can more than 2 people participate in a video chat?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Bad experiences in the past of having to remove many different files from different places.

There are apps that do that now, AppZapper, etc.

AppCleaner is free.

Not currently, although we're working on implementing that feature right now.

I installed this, but it turns my video camera on at seemingly random times. Uninstalled rapidly.

Please add a symbol to red and green so they are differentiable to R/G colorblind people 8% of North American males are Red/Green colorbind Perhaps thumbs up/sideways/down, or Octagon, square, circle

But it's red on green or green on red, not differentiation between the two? I have r/g color blindness, I can't see red berries against green foliage, but I can tell red from green easily.

cool. I will give it a shot. I use google video chat regularly. Also, if you can add a way to easily share my screen (or even screenshots), that would be amazing. I have been wanting a way to 'push' my screen to coworkers, even within the same office.

Sorry that it didn't work for you. There's a bug which happens occasionally for some computers where we try to connect to the camera and fail and retry, and it looks like that's what you ran into. We're working on fixing it right now.

Sharing the screen is definitely in our plans for functionality we're building next.

I feel like this has a lot more potential than the workplace... perhaps a mobile app where people can leave their friends short video messages?
