Six-Person Video Conferencing with Meebo/TokBox
Posted by Kevin Purdy at 1:30 AM on November 21, 2007

Web-based chat application Meebo now lets you video conference with up to five other contacts from any instant messaging service through a team-up with TokBox. As with their regular video chat, you log in, open a chat window, hit the "rocket ship" icon and choose the "Group Video Chat" option. There's simultaneous text chatting in the same window, and the video quality looks to be about the same as the one-on-one setup. Not too shabby for a free, no-installation service.

I know that the 1 on 1 version was nice I used it to talk to an associate in Ireland once, I think I will be checking this out.

Free as in beer, I'll take it any day! Meebo is really flexing its muscles lately... :-)

The video quality is very good but the audio was very patchy at best. I usually couldn't hear anything anyone else was say. In my little test run all users were on MacBook Pros.
Maybe Meebo was just getting hit hard at the time as this was just announced today. Anyone else experience audio problems?
