TinyChat: video chat with some super cool features

by David on May 27, 2009

ReadWriteWeb announced today that Tinychat has relaunched. It includes video chats with up to 12 people, recording, screen sharing, and a Facebook application for video chats on Facebook.

I just tested it out and I love the simplicity. When you get to tinychat.com, you’re two clicks away from broadcasting in a private room. No crazy registrations, just enter a simple username and you’re done. It doesn’t get easier than that from the perspective of the user.

The video quality is middle of the road, but you can upgrade with the pro account. You’re limited to 12 people simultaneously on video, and can have up to 100 people viewing and chatting. Also, we had trouble viewing the desktop sharing feature. It took a while to upload to the viewer. My favorite thing was the file sharing capabilities. They are quick and easy.

HD video & recording are both features in the pro acct which will set you back $20 a month.

Ways for your Church or business to use this:
Life Groups
Group Prayer
Meetings
Training

Bottom line: another great tool for connecting easily with people from around the globe.
