Ease of use
Simply sign in and connect, you can invite guests with a url, as a Guest all you have to do is connect. The audio quality can be configured (stereo/mono as well) for better latency and less digital distortion. The service can host sessions of up to eight people.
note
If members of a session refresh to update settings, they often have to wait until the other members refresh their page as well to hear/see them. This makes large group calls quite difficult and incredibly unstable.
caution
This service is in beta! Use on an experimental basis.
