Why Chrome only? Which block do you rely on that isn't supported by Firefox? http://iswebrtcreadyyet.com/

Cool; support is limited. I like to think we did better at Sococo.com - we support dozens of simultaneous participants, a dedicated client and web clients too.

Here's a picture of Teamspace at work: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nb5tqqeux0n1xep/SococoMtg.png We meet like this all the time; there were 23 people in that virtual room, 7 sharing webcams and one webcam in our central office. 2 documents were being shared, a common chat thread was going on. Probably many p2p chats going on; I couldn't see that as they're private.

    Is Sococo a web app? Does it support Linux and Windows? I looked very hard to find answers to these two questions on your site. The only way I can really tell is by looking at your screenshot that appears to be a Windows standalone application.

    A working demo would be a nice addition to your site. I'm too stubborn to signup for a demo, so without a public demo I don't see myself ever being a customer, which is unfortunate because the software or web app looks useful.

      Rolling out a simpler design and a new website in a few days. Some of your objections will be met!

      I'll answer here: there's a client for mac, windows, iOS and ipad. There's a web client too - but the conversation has to be hosted by a non-web client and invites sent as a url.

      There's a headless Linux version but we use that on servers for media switching etc.

      It supports call-out now (to any phone). Call-in is harder - you have to resolve an unsolicited call to a virtual office - we're working on it now.

I found https://appear.in to be better.

Somebody messed up and used the active bullets as inactive bullets in the slider, to the right.

Hutt works exclusively (for now) with Chrome.

Useless crap. There's dozens of other WebRTC apps out now that support all WebRTC browsers and interop. Why should I use a clearly inferior one?

It just hangs on the "building your Hutt" page for me. Either it's swamped, or my company is blocking WebRTC somehow. Is there any way to verify WebRTC availability?

  Sorry, your browser ins't supported yet. 
That'd be the most recent Firefox on Windows.

God, that website looks awful in a small browser window.

Also, why limit it to 4 people total?
