This is pretty cool. Would it be possible to get basic text chat in there? Some people have no mic but could benefit from this anyway. Thanks for your hard work! By the way, it works fine for me in Chrome.

Are you comfortable with the audio quality? I can't hear anything properly but video works well.

This is a pretty interesting app to have conversations with friends.

Business calls, I've had a problem with video. It's often too cumbersome and gives too much info about the visual aspect of myself when it's not necessary and when I don't want it to happen. (e.g., getting on a call with a stranger or clients.) Using the "voice" call, I won't worry over washing my face at 9am in the morning.

Which is the reason I created http://voicechatapi.com (shameless plug)

If you look at the bottom of the room, there is (hopefully) a text chat :-)

Heh. I did join, saw two faces, and about 4 "we're really sorry..." error messages on the other windows. And then then someone kicked me out :-|
