TokBox – Instant Video Chat

Toxbox is a free service that lets you talk with your friends over live video. It allows you to setup a video chat in seconds. I was able to get up and running in literally minutes. I was prompted to invite someone to the chat via email. They click the link and can participate even without registering. Controls are nice and simple – volume, mute, or kill the camera. You can even embed the windows on your own website.

This is a great way to have a video chat with someone if you’ve had problems getting iChat’s video to work behind a firewall, or if both parties are on different platforms. Great idea, great system. Thumbs up from my end.
