The application enables multiple users to login & share their webcam or communicate via VOIP at the same time.

It is a very ideal application for presentations as users can upload PDF or office documents & keep everyone in sync with their current page, zoom, pan, mouse pointer etc.

Also, users can share their desktop with others easily.

There are 3 user types:

• Presenter: can upload presentations & sharing their desktop
• Viewer: have no authority within the conference, can only view & chat with other users
• Moderator:can upload presentations, share the desktop & change user types of other users.

Users can raise hands to get the attention of the presenter, mute any other participants they want & chat between themselves in public or privately.

BigBlueButton completely relies on open source technologies & it can be improved further with the API provided.

The messenger is autonomous, but authentication (login + password) is possible from other existing databases like forums, groupware applications, e-learning systems, etc.

It can operate in 2 modes:

• open community : everybody can see everybody, without add to contact list
• groups only : everybody can see everybody (but only) is they are in the same group

However, there are some situations where all the audience may not have the necessary tools to communicate at the same platforms like a user not having Skype installed or not having a Twitter account.

This is where the disposable chat systems become handy. Whether you will be talking with a client, a teammate or a friend, just a standards compliant browser & an internet connection will be enough.

Here are 7 easy to use & free disposable chat systems (text or video) for an instant communication:

TinyChat

TinyChat is probably the most popular disposable chat application.

It has support for both video & text where both works very nice.

There is also an API to automatically create rooms which is great for integrating it with 3rd party products.

BabelWith.Me

The application offers a quick group chat with a unique feature: it can translate the content from 45 different languages instantly which makes the communication of x number of users not speaking each other's language possible.

BoostCam

BoostCam creates a two-way video conferencing room with just a click without the need of installing any plugins.

Ubiqq

An instant video chat system for 2 users. Just enable the application to reach your camera + microphone and no more settings.

Stinto

A simple disposable chat system which work perfectly with no problems. Just click the "create chat" button & that's all.

It does not offer password-protected pages.

Disposible Chat

Again a simple application where any number of users can connect. Optionally, you can password-protect your page to make sure the chat is private.

ChatMaker.NET

Besides standard chat rooms, you can signup & create private rooms which are password protected and the communication is encyrpted.

By adding a line of JavaScript, your visitors can chat with each other in an overlayed screen.

Users can:

• See other users mouse movements,
• Choose avatars,
• See the chat history,
• Howmany people are already in the page.

As a developer, all I can ask for more is an API that enables integrating any userbase to the system for adding auto avatars, names to the users etc. Considering this is a fresh chat service, in the future, why not?

You should definitely give firefly a try & will probably be impressed.
