We produce a web-audio app (does recording). Apple has made it almost impossible for this to work as a web app on the iPhone (no officially blessed way to record in the browser). So we support computer browsers and Android with browser.

I noticed this myself on Baidu maps a couple of years ago. Browsing around Xinjiang with a friend, we discovered a weird conical structure constructed of tiles. Also found lots of roadblocks in the region (those weren't hidden).

Totally agree. I find video is ok for initial meetings, but after that I vastly prefer audio-only, for small groups. Works well with inferior wifi connections in coffee shops, etc. Using this for global discussions every day. Currently
