WebRTC. Do a search on this forum for more info. Interesting and promising technology though. It also appears that it only displays a 4:3 resolution. 16:9 is displayed letterboxed in most WebRTC clients

Andrew have you used any of these services? How do they compare to skype or google hangouts?

[AndrewSeabrook]

Oscar, have done some one to one and am experimenting with its use for work purposes. Very impressed so far but have not used it yet as part of a broadcast. Tom Sinclair has experimented with it however and has posted a video of his experiences

I need to play around with this. A lot of people have been talking about WebRTC as the future of video communication.

Personally I think in the Podcasting/ Internet Broadcasting world we need something thats not browser based.

I have used several different webRTC apps and have found them to be comparable to Google Hangouts in video and audio quality. As of now, I would not use this to replace Skype for a one-on-one interview but might for a multi-guest segment.

It certainly is easy to use.
