This is super cool. One of the things I find myself doing all the team is getting users chatting with me on Olark but then need to switch to Skype because screen sharing is needed for support.

Putting something like /support/video on our site could make it way easier to do this.

Very cool - this is one of the use cases we've been envisioning, good to see it in action :)

What's the incentive for Meetings.io to offer this? Are there ads?
Re:Meetings.io now enables embedding rooms on any site by denismars on Tuesday July 17, 2012 @06:17PM (#4258214)
no ads, we just want to make it really simple to have face to face communications on any site.

You guys keep amazing me. It saddens me when I see my job constantly talking about getting 'another' Glance account. I'll keep fighting the good fight for you.

thx, very appreciated! we've only been live for just over two months now so we're still the new kid on the block, but every jab, nudge and slam dunk you have to give really helps us towards taking on the heavy weights :)

Is this possible to dynamically start rooms? Say, two people on my website want to connect to each other... so they start a room together?
Re:Meetings.io now enables embedding rooms on any site by randylubin on Wednesday July 18, 2012 @02:30AM (#4259631)
Each room is tied to a unique URL; if they both jump enter the embedded room at the same time, they'll be connected.

Any API to make rooms? I need a button to start rooms by someone and then someone can join.

Situation: Number of people on the website. One of them chooses to start a room-chat with another targeted person. How can this be done ?

Re:Meetings.io now enables embedding rooms on any site by denismars on Wednesday July 18, 2012 @11:53AM (#4261332)
this will be possible once we have our APIs available - you'll be able to create rooms on the fly and manage your users and their interactions directly by throwing new rooms up for any two people wanting to meet and then by keeping track of which room these people are in you can then prompt others to join these people in that same room. more to come very soon.

Is there an API to generate a room? Or do all embedded rooms have to be made manually beforehand?
Re:Meetings.io now enables embedding rooms on any site by denismars on Tuesday July 17, 2012 @07:57PM (#4258571)
for now they'll need to be created manually, but we're in the process of building our APIs which we'll make available very soon

Client still dies on my browser and forces a kill whenever I enable peer-assisted networking.

Linux / Chrome 20 user.

Try enabling peer assist in your Flash Global Settings - this will fix some Linux crashes but not all, Adobe has confirmed it as a bug and will hopefully have a fix or workaround soon.

I did that, and got this instead: http://i.imgur.com/a0eMw.png

CPU usage was 100% prior to that error.

Still no dice.

Tried this on Crunchbang Linux with Chromium, seems to be working fine.

Google Chrome here.
