hangout
A secured peer to peer video application in your browser.
Hangout is based on peer and is still experimental.
Installation
with nodejs:
$ npm install hangout -g
Hangout works only with the latest versions of Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
Usage
Use hangout to start a peer to peer video chat:
$ hangout
Thats it! Hangout will setup a tunnel and generates a uniq url you can share with the person you want to hangout. This url remains active for the duration of your video session.
Usage: hangout
Examples:
# create a hangout:
$ hangout
# create a hangout with specific port:
$ hangout -p 8080
Note
About 20% of peer to peer connections need a turn server. A turn server is higly requested if you are behing a NAT.
Every hangout session has turn metadata (see sturn). However it's possible the turn server is not available.
If you see a black screen you should probably start a new hangout session which request a new turn server.
