TokBox

Tokbox is a free service that lets you talk with your friends over live video. You can embed a Video Conference tool or a Video Message tool on just about any website! They have widgets for you to put on facebook.com, freewebs.com, pretty much on any social network profile, blog, or personal webpage. Just copy and paste the TokBox Code into your web page and Voila! instant Video Conference or Video Messaging!

For members, they even have a Public Post Area so you can post a Video Message and meet people.

But remember, Anyone can come to your page use the "Push to Talk" button. They click it and connect to you in real time using live video and audio. SO TURN OFF YOUR CAM AND MIC WHEN YOU'RE NOT USING IT!

I tried it with Linux, Windows and MacOS with Firefox. I used Flash 9.
Everything worked ok.

On Linux, from time to time I had to clear my Cache and reload the page for the widget to pop up properly. Sound and Video work fine. But remember, sound on Linux is tricky, sometimes some other process has control of the audio. So my suggestion is start your browser first so that other apps like Pidgin don't take control of the sound. As for web cams, I belive you will need a V4L compatible cam. For V4L2 cams I think that Post a comment with your experience regarding this.


How do you get started using TokBox?
You sign up at www.tokbox.com and they give you everything you need to have your Video Conference or Messaging. You have access to all your stuff from within your TokBox account. All that you and your friends need to have is a compatible browser and Flash 9 or greater.
