Help Required: How to Speak at a Conference Remotely Using WebRTC?

Want to suggest a service I'll use for a conference?

- Obviously, the ability to hear me
- Ability to show my webcam
- Ability to share something – either by uploading it, direct screen sharing or even browsing together in a collaboration session
- Any other cool thing you think can make this interesting for the audience in the room


Presuming that you can find such services, and that they are reliably able to support the effort, there are some more basic considerations worthy of note. For example, are you using a good quality webcam or something merely conveniently built into your laptop? Do you have a high-quality headset? That would trump any speaker/mic or speakerphone. Do you have adequate lighting?
I am actually not that interested in the technicalities of my lighting and camera - I know these issues are important - been working at a video conferencing company for 13 years...
What I am looking for are interesting WebRTC services to show off :-)
You might try Twelephone. You may also wish to try the experimental gateway that LifeSize has offered. That would allow a WebRTC based call to a more traditional far-end.
Hi Tsahi,
We'd be more than happy to have you use LiveNinja for this.
We can accommodate the video/audio please screen-sharing capabilities in our LiveRoom.
Please let me know if you'd like to give it a test spin and I'll be happy to give you a personal demo.
All the best!

Will definitely showcase your solution. Contact me via email to arrange the setup, although I think your default 1:1 session should be enough for this case.
Talk to the meetecho guys. They're highly interested in webrtc, they do the streaming for the IETF, field-tested a solution to enable remote participation during one of the panels in Berlin
I'll check them out - thanks!
Check out the 100% WebRTC app at ovx.me/app . Has lots of features for you to play with:
1. Many people can join in (up to 9)
2. Can present or join from Chrome, iPad or Android
3. Document share (google docs.. does not require flags for RTCDataChannel)
4. Live White board
5. Full screen capability (ideal for your conference audience)
6. Network recording (video only, not document)
Need more.. let us know.. this is our app to give our developers some ideas..
Oh.. and forgot.. you can stream your video to users not in conference. You can post the streaming link on this blog.
Everything you need is on Bistri, but you know that already Tsahi, don't you?
Every user on Bistri has his own permanent conference link, that looks like:
http://bistri.me/username/conf
Join your conference once to share your webcam, another time to share your screen. Two other participants can join to watch the show.
The nb if peers is limited to 4 participants because it is a server-less conference solution. Each peer encode/decode all the flows. For a recent computer/tablet/smartphone, 4 is the limit to get a good user experience.
You can use Chrome or Firefox, on a computer as well as an Android device.
We are working hard on a MCU to increase the nb of participants, but also other cool features. With a MCU on the server side, there is only one-on-one connection per peer.
