Neat idea and interesting concept
From 3 comments
This is really neat. I logged in for a few seconds to check out the interface (should have taken a screenshot). The center of the meeting shows a large white square window and…

Questions
Is it audio only or does video work?
From 1 comment

Does it keep user locations synced?
