Re: Video conversations with up to 8 people for free. No login, no installs
#22Do you know any app which allows up to 15 participants for free or by issuing one time payment? My company is mostly ok with voice standups and meetings but from time to time we want to experiment with video ones. We are still not sure about them so we want to play around a little bit before deciding to switch to a video tool. The problem is, most of the tools have a limitation for a number of allowed participants so…
There is no limitation except driven by architecture.
Usually there is a limit on how many you can do without putting a conference server, 5 is quite okay for HD video on a laptop. Typically in these cases (mesh scenarios) the CPU/memory is a limitation than capacity. Upto 10, if everyone is doing SD video. So services pick a number 7 or 8 to limit the participants in a video some doing HD, some doing SD. This number is smaller if you pick iPad/tablets and higher if you are on a MacPro or something with multiple GPUs (possibly in these cases limited by capacity).
If the service builds a MCU (or conference bridge) those typically do not have such limitations, it then depends on how you multiplex the streams, mix them or selectively forward them, if the server is just forwarding packets, or decrypting them and re-encrypting them because it is transcoding or re-writing RTP headers, etc.

#23Looks good, and seems simple to get going.
Two comments:
- I set the background image but it didn't appear (the dialog box for that seems to have no 'OK' or 'Save' button)
- It would be good to have a microphone level indicator, so I can see whether my microphone has been properly detected and working. There is one in Google Hangout but is rather small and not very good IMHO.

#24So frictionless, really impressive work. Well done.

#25Check also Google Hangouts, allows 10 people. Although requires google login. I don't remember whether I installed anything for it.
Yes it also requires installing something, forget it. I'm not gonna install backdoors in my machine.

#26Is there some sort of end to end encryption available for this or any other WebRTC-based VOIP app?

Developer on appear.in here: Everything between peers is encrypted using SRTP end-to-end by default. From our FAQ:
"All communication between your browser and appear.in is transmitted over an encrypted connection (SSL). Video and audio transmitted in the service is sent directly between the participants in a room and is encrypted (SRTP) with client generated encryption keys. In some cases, due to NAT/firewall restrictions, the encrypted data content will be relayed through our server."

#28Appear.in is quite easy to integrate into a web app as well. Just generate a random link and send users off to chat: blog.iterate.no/2014/01/29/youtube-for-webrtc/

Try http://vidless.com. We've had up to 40 people in a room there, and it's free, no accounts, plugins or anything.
