Show HN: QuicklyChat - A video walkie-talkie for the workplace

Awesome idea. We previously had audio/video quality problems with all tools but Skype. How do you solve this problem? As I understand providing high quality video and audio is still quite a bit challenge.

Is there any only mic version? Or do you think it defeats the purpose?

Finally, a small suggestion, make question lines bold in the FAQ which will make it much easier to read.

Thanks! Video/audio quality is definitely challenging. We use a third party platform to handle our video connections, and sometimes the quality is great, but sometimes it isn't.

The QuicklyChat client doesn't work completely correctly right now if you don't have video, but I've heard a lot of feedback today asking for audio-only functionality, so we're going to look into building that in the next couple of days.

Thanks for the suggestion about the FAQ. I'll go ahead and make that change now.

Since it's built on Adobe Air (basically, Flash), I assume they're using its built-in P2P video library. I've used it before and found it to be quite good. It's what Chatroulette, or any other web based video chat app uses.
