Meetings.io (YC W11) now has screen sharing and file sharing built in. (lifehacker.com)

Where is the information on the adobe plugin you are using to do screensharing? Looked into doing it before but had to use java- Would love to play with the adobe version but I thought it was lifecycle only....


Awesome job Denis & Arend!! Love the product. Simple to use and just works. New features step it up!! Here's an interview I did with Denis re meetings.io after they launched ~ http://www.theroadtosiliconvalley.com/founders/interview-den...


Isn't this essentially cannibalizing ScreenLeap (YC W12)?


not really. ScreenLeap is catering for a dead-simple screen sharing service used in conjunction with any communications medium (phone, email, skype etc) - whereas meetings.io is enabling screen sharing wholly within the meeting.io experience.


Greets!

I spoke to you guys over email and need to touch base with you.

can you email me at ss@teecom.com

I'd like to talk to you about integration, BlueJeans, competition, etc...


It requires the Adobe ConnectNow plugin for screensharing so it doesn't work on linux.


Only 5 people at a time? That seems very low number of participants.


we have plans to open it to unlimited participants - stay tuned for this and more shortly


Whats the plan for making money? Is this ya - join.me?


we have an exciting new monetization strategy that will enable free use of our services and does not rely on advertising - stay tuned for more very soon :)


join.me is LogMeIn


I tried to sign up twice and it just clears the form.


for most cases where this happens - make sure you enter a valid password by typing it in and not via copy n paste - we only allow signups if real people entered the password.. we're gonna put up a dialog to say this v. soon


Can you turn that off? Many people use password managers.


This is where a seemingly good ux and anti-spam measure actually gets in the way of some users.


just pushed up an update to detect change events on the password field - this should now enable password extensions to work - although the other fields (name, email) still have a keyup event detection to detect real users


And why have you decided to enforce that?


In case it wasn't obvious from the other comments, this is a pretty tremendously bad idea. Not to mention easily circumvented by anyone interested.


Sweet stuff. Works great.


Awesome job guys!


But not for Linux+Chrome users, Thinkpad T400S

bummer - it should work fine for linux systems (on any browser) - what's your system specs and we'll try get a fix out quick?


Lenovo Thinkpad T400S

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU P9400 @ 2.40GHz

8 gigs of memory

OCZ SSD for storage

Linux odin 3.2.0-26-generic #41-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 14 17:49:24 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Chrome Version 20.0.1132.47 beta

Flash (2 files) - Version: 11.3.31.109

Shockwave Flash 11.3 r31

Miscellany provided on request.


try this - in your chrome://plugins/ page enable the non-chrome built-in flash (the one that has Location: /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/Flash Player.plugin) and disable the chrome built-in flash - this may be a quick fix for now until we figure out why the built-in version is playing up


It's a better idea to put that info in a gist or an email so it doesn't clutter the thread.
