Video Chat communication

LA Lena ASAI Public Seen by 352

list of instant email apps

Currently used apps :

  • Skype,
  • WhatsApp,
  • FaceBook,
  • Hangouts

What we need :

  • A single system that is used by everybody at CRI
  • integration with Google CRI ID

Recommandation :

  • Hangouts seems the best candidate. Our Pro version can accommodate 20 concurrent users and is fully integrated with Google Calendars and Google Groups. Video conferences can be shared through a simple URL with people external to CRI on any device, without a Google account.
  • Only caveat : Hangouts is blocked by the Great Firewall of China ; you need a VPN to access it from China, like all Google products.

Next CRIBOOT workshop can tackle the challenge of deciding on a united communication application.

Simple, Easy and already integrated with the CRI email. Also no need to 'add' people in CRI to 'hangout' with them.
