Until recently, the field has been dominated by the likes of Polycom and Cisco in the enterprise sphere, and Skype and Google Plus are the players in the consumer sphere.<\/p>\n<p>These big players have their own software to be installed and signups to start with the video chat.<\/p>\n<p>People have been crying out for a decent video conferencing app for ages. Everyone was using Google Plus. We thought that was it. We were wrong. Meet <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/appear.in\">Appear.in<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>HTML5 Video Conferencing<\/h2>\n<p>Appear.in is a slick, visually beautiful, and snappy take on the Google Hangouts model. HTML5 only (here\u2019s a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.makeuseof.com\/pages\/get-started-with-html5\">HTML5 tutorial for beginners<\/a>). No flash. No plugins. No sign-ups. No bullshit.<\/p>\n<p>Produced by Norwegian telecommunications titan Telenor, Appear.in allows you to share your webcam, microphone, and screen with up to 8 people. Inviting people to your hang out is simply a matter of sharing a link.<\/p>\n<p>It uses <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/WebRTC\">WebRTC<\/a> (real-time communication). This is a recently announced feature which uses simple JavaScript APIs and HTML5 to stream content in real-time. This is integrated into Firefox, Opera (Webkit only), and Google Chrome, with IE and Safari yet to show it any love.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy nuts will get a kick out of this service. No content from your video conference is stored on their servers, and traffic is encrypted with strong SSL encryption.<\/p>\n<h2>How Does It Work?<\/h2>\n<p>Creating a video conferencing room with Appear.in literally couldn\u2019t be any easier.<\/p>\n<p>Navigate to the site. You\u2019ll be prompted to create a room. Give it a name (ideally something that is easy enough to remember) and click \u2018create\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-12\" src=\"http:\/\/instanexa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/appear-2-300x153.jpg\" alt=\"appear-2\" width=\"300\" height=\"153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/instanexa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/appear-2-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/instanexa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/appear-2-768x392.jpg 768w, https:\/\/instanexa.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/appear-2.jpg 963w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll then be prompted to grant Appear.in access to your microphone and camera.

You can now invite your clients to the chat by sending the URL to your chat room.<\/p>\n<p>That is it!<\/p>\n<p>This has its own pros &amp; cons but this comes very handy to video chat with someone without sharing the id or signup anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Hope this helps!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Video conferencing isn\u2019t something most people get excited about.
