Couldn't see from the article, does it support more than 2 computers on the video chat, aka Hangouts style?
Yes, it supports multiple people -- we probably should have mentioned that.

Re: Introducing vLine link: Free, simple WebRTC video chat
#12Seems nice but turns out to be the worst kind of service: instead of offering the marketed video chat, clicking 'go'displays a big advertisement for google chrome.
I really hate those 'free' product that try to push chrome on you.
So I tried again in firefox (because I value privacy too much to ever install google products), and now I have a box with "connecting to room..." accompanied by a sad attempt to give away my data to google analytics and that's it.
So much for "copy. paste. video chat.", more like "relinquish your privacy to google, do that again, copy, paste, hope this will work".
I'm sure I'm happy web browsers are getting the ability to control webcams and watch as your surf the web.

Sorry you had a bad experience. It does work in Firefox, although there are bugs in the current stable version (which is why we are encouraging Chrome).

What version of Firefox are you using? What OS?

#14I am in the process of evaluating options for embedded video chat in a webapp, vLine looks like another potential option (tokbox or OpenTok was the other service I had looked at) so I guess it's time to make some demos. My main points of comparison so far are ease of implementation and pricing. The developer docs seem pretty easy to read so far, the nodejs example is nice. I'm impressed! Edit - after some quick testi…
Not really related to vline, but I've been keeping half an eye on ignite real-time, and it might be worth a look if you want xmpp+webrtc:
