Yepyep, you did it. This is excellent. I can't find anything that I wouldn't pay for-- this would help out our team if it turns out we can avoid firewall problems with the video streaming. Seems like that part would be the most likely to cause issues, right? I'll try it again when others on my team are awake to give it a shot. Edit: Ok, tried the voice and video-- a bit worse than other services. Kept cutting out the audio and video. Had to keep re-enabling it myself to get it to work again. File uploads worked well there, as did images and drawings. Good stuff, but the video and audio aren't stable enough to use for a real conference. Usually it behaves fine with most services I use, but the others kept losing my video and audio in mid-sentence. Desktop sharing seemed to work (or so it said) but it's really hard to tell what part of the screen it is showing as opposed to things like GoToMeeting.

"I can't find anything that I wouldn't pay for". Had to read that a couple of times coz it sounded too good to be true :). Most consumer firewalls won't block it, but most corporate ones will. Eventually we'll implement a server-based fall-back, but that would suck in a few ways. Edit: That's really surprising that your voice and video are getting cut up. It usually either works very well or just doesn't (if it's a firewall issue). thorax, can you email zhyder AT dabbleboard DOT com? As for the desktop sharing, we'll be releasing the feature to allow you to choose which rectangular region to share. But we probably won't have the ability to select specific applications to share though; limitation of a browser-based solution.

  >That's really surprising that your voice and video are getting cut up It is strange. All the Flash P2P tests I have not had choppiness problems. Are you using the Speex Codec? What quality setting? I believe RTMPFP prioritizes low audio latency most highly, to prevent audio chop. Video doesn't get quite the same priority, being heavier, and less crucial in most scenarios. So video chop is a little less surprising.

    Yep, Speex at high quality, and you're right about RTMFP prioritizing audio. I'm guessing there was some temporary Internet connectivity issue. Which other services out there are using RTMFP btw? It seems to be under-utilized so far, probably because there isn't a commercial server for it out yet. Definitely sounds like you plan to use it :).
