A secured peer to peer video application in your browser.

Hangout is based on peer and is still experimental.

with nodejs:

$ npm install hangout -g

Hangout works only with the latest versions of Google chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Use hangout to start a peer to peer video chat:

$ hangout

Thats it! Hangout will setup a tunnel and generates a uniq url you can share with the person you want to hangout. This url remains active for the duration of your video session.

Usage: hangout
Examples:
  # create a hangout:
  $ hangout
  # create a hangout with specific port:
  $ hangout -p 8080

About 20% of peer to peer connections need a turn server. A turn server is higly requested if you are behing a NAT.

Every hangout session has turn metadata (see sturn). However it's possible the turn server is not available.

If you see a black screen you should probably start a new hangout session which request a new turn server.
