Is it possible to select an output device other than the default? That's a limitation that a lot of WebRTC implementations have.

[andrewzarian]

has anyone else here used the service? I would love to hear some samples of what it sounds like.

Two things.
1. The site mentions the following, which I believe may be of interest to those wishing to try it:
Source-Connect Now is free
All accounts will be able to connect two people at broadcast-quality for free. For premium features, pricing will start out as low as $8 a month, with a middle tier around $24 a month. There is no need to purchase additional links: Guest accounts are always free.

2. I noticed that Mike was asking if one could change the device being used by WebRTC sites. If you are accessing the site using Chrome you can. You can change the device used by Chrome in its settings. Specifically, in the Advanced settings area that mentions Media.

Lastly, if anyone would like to test this, I would be willing to make a connection and test. I've already created an account at the site, thus, there would be no need for others to create one, unless they wished to. I would be willing to create link access for testing purposes. Fair warning though, I'm using a lowly DSL connection, though it hasn't been a problem in the past.

I can't find that setting.

The same procedure using both Mac and Windows version...
After selecting Settings (hamburger icon at upper right of browser window), select 'Show advanced settings..." Next, scroll to the "Privacy" section and select the "Content Settings" button. After that, scroll to the section that is headed "Media." At this point you should be able to select a setting for the Microphone and Camera. You, also, have the option (radio buttons) to tell Chrome to either Ask to use them, or disallow their use altogether.

Hope that helps.

I don't think it will let you change the output from the Media settings in Chrome, only the Microphone and Camera. This is what I get -

I guess the question, from my perspective, would be, where would you like the output to go?

I guess, I simply don't understand the question. The output is the TCP/UDP connection to the other end of the WebRTC connection. Where would one like their conversation to go to, if not the other participant(s)?
