Many thanks for the kind words Michael.

Without FreeSWITCH, I don't think we'll have as great success as we have
now. Voice is the most important component in real-time collaboration
systems and it's one of the part we don't worry about as FS is solid.
Users can tolerate bad video (they just turn the webcam off) but if the
audio hiccups, users start to complain. And being able to allow users to
call in using the phone is a big plus.

Mimiko, we don't use FS for video but only for audio. For video, we use
Red5. We'll most like be experimenting with it soon.

If you have more questions, you can try searching our FAQ at
