I've had good experiences with talky and I know hangouts uses webrtc.
I think the biggest problem is the lack of accounts, chat, logging, and persistence in webrtc. Thats what keeps it from being a p2p communication protocol in general whereas now its just a toy for video calls.
I mean, when you cannot share links during your video call easily, somethings wrong.
- windlep 12y agoAgreed, I believe Hello will be added text chat along with the video calls using WebRTC data channels in an upcoming release.
- TD-Linux 12y agoHangouts still uses the Google Talk plugin, as far as I'm aware.
- vidarh 12y agoIt may be "something wrong" for you, but for me it's exactly what I need to let my mother video chat with her grandson after Skype became useless (breaks more often with every passing release, it seems; we've given up on it). Sharing links, accounts, chat, logging and persistence are all irrelevant for my use, and they in any case don't belong in webrtc - webrtc is a component for people to use to build services like what you appear to want.

It is just here to move bytes from one client to another. The features you are talking about are managed by said clients, meaning that it has to be handled by Firefox/Chrome itself.
