Today I found very interesting site today which I want to share my impressions from it. It’s called TokBox. The main functionality of this site is video conference and video messaging.
Once you register /it’s very easy because you don’t need any e-mail confirmation/ you see your own tokbox interface which offering:
Video Mail section which give you ability to record, playback what you just recorded, and send Video Mail to an e-mail or group of e-mails.
There are 3 ways of doing it
- Direct – typing the e-mail addresses comma separated
- Import from you favourite web-mail service – you have an option to choose between Yahoo mail,Gmail, MSN or even to import them from LinkedIn
- Get your TokBox contacts
It’s also possible to send a short message under the video.
The second feature is the ability to create video conference in real time with another person which also has Video and audio set. It’s working like messenger call – You send a short URL to your frien or colleague and once he activate the button “Call” you receive an indication that both sides are ready for this. It’s very convenient because it’s better to have such invitation rather that searing you friend without his knowledge.
The small problem which I notice was the strange intonation of the “chatters” – My voice sounds like I am breeding air from helium balloon, and I hear the voice from the other side like Dart Vader talking to me. It’s really funny, but it’s ridiculous to make business talks with these intonations.
The third feature is the ability to embed the tokbox into your web page, blog or even in your social networking. It’s very useful if you providing online support and especially if you can say hi to your visitor’s. I hope this service to become more and more popular. The benefit is that you don’t need to install anything on your machine – you need to have simple browser supporting flash technology.
Here is my video room call me:
Is it chat or commutication sevrice?
Hi Symbian, it’s one to one chat and Video Messaging service, for sure it’s not public video chat. I am not involved in the project. I just wrote a review. You can easily register and give a try, like I did.

@Amy – I am not 100% of the time online and also I don’t use Tokbox so much. About hosting – it’s hosted on the TokBox site. you don’t need to install or run any application on your PC except browser with flash plug in in top – it’s simple.

Pingback: video conferencing system
Being a saleman it was much easier for me to get connected to customers and colleagues residing anywhere in the world through video confererncing. I get connected to the customers in the world from your desk. You can develop stronger working relationships and gauge their reactions instantly.
Initially the concept of video conferencing was new to me but due to the change in technologies I felt that work and the performance of business can be effectively be increased positively due to the investment I made in more than one telepresence room. However, many telepresence solutions are now standards based, so they are compatible with other desktop.
The idea which I got from a conference room environment that delivered an experience which is so true to life an executive could use the solution instead of spending time and money traveling to meetings. The investment which I made on time the returns of the company justify the expense. The profits margin has increased tremendously.
I feel the main equipment for video conferencing is the web cam, microphone and the monitor. One must look out for the best of these equipments to get smoothest conferencing feeling
The first time when I used the video conferencing I was really nervous about how do I look or how do I speak through the equipment, but it was a great feeling.
Since my management installed video conferencing equipment in our company’s board room, it becomes very lively when sitting in board meetings and client meetings. Before getting the system installed every meeting was like just preparing for outdoor meetings but now it is changed.
