Forums » Smalltalk » Videochat get together? (No Skype or Hangouts!)

There's probably something lying about, I'll just need to look for it.

Hey, just poking my head in again!
I'll be around then (just in time from work) far as I'm still aware of.

Whooo! Ross is joining in too and I hope Mist and SpilledInk and everyone else who wants to hops on in as well. I'll set up a room in about an hour.

This sounds like a blast. I'll have to try to pop in for at least a little bit!

Okay guys! I set up a room. Ross and I are already in it and I think Copper is about to hop in too!

Just click on this link. If you have any problems, check out their FAQ: https://appear.in/information/faq

Hope to see you all there!

Can't hop in for some reason. Connection issues, I guess.

Y'all have fun.

I'll join in an hour or so, I'm out of the house and they don't support iOS

Family stuff to go to, tsk. Hopefully it will still be up when I get back!

Hrmpf! This is peer to peer (computer to computer) without a server between it, so if one person has a specific setup that blocks the connection to one person, then it doesn't work oouuuuut.

If this is an issue for other people as well we can switch to Google Hangouts to chat!

Tiny chat is always an option. One person can set up a room as the moderator (a random link and room is generated for free) and then others can join.

I just tried it with Ross and the quality is pretty bad + you can't fullscreen and are forced to use a very small window. That kind of sucks. A lot of features are off limits to non-pro users.

So another person appeared to join with only audio, but we heard nothing.... I don't think this is working out too well.

This still going on?

I just got home, let me know if this is still happening

There were a ton ton ton ton of issues with this. No ability to connect, then we tried Hangouts, there we couldn't get a thing going, then we tried Skype and we had stupid amounts of problems with our video... Urghles. So it didn't last long and ended quickly, sorry.
