Cyclops.io: 1-click web video conferencing with apps and bots

CryptoPoops

Cyclops is a new product that makes video conferencing and screen-sharing dead simple. It also integrates with Slack and has some neat apps and bots. Real-time audio transcription and the functionality that enhances whiteboards are my favorites. Really really useful for remote teams. Reminds me of the days when every company with remote teams started using Zoom.us

@hnshah Yeah we use Zoom.us at the moment and have been toying with Slack too. Hangouts is so unreliable and just difficult to work with every time. This looks cool!

@bentossell @hnshah Definitely space to improve on offering out there now. Hangouts is almost embarrassing.

Thank you @hnshah for hunting us. We are excited to be launching here and hearing your feedback. We built cyclops to create super-simple video conferencing -- just one click is all you need. If you would like to test with us today, We'll be in: https://cyclops.io/room/cyclops-... or https://cyclops.io/room/product-... You can create own vanity URL by changing the URL we generate with as many words as you want as long as its lower-case, not numbers and not special characters. Below are 2 examples. We will have more direct support for persistent vanity URLs soon. https://www.cyclops.io/room/john... https://www.cyclops.io/room/face... Also, video conferencing should be more than just talking. It should be about getting work done. To do that, we've created apps and bots on top of video conferencing. These include: Screenshare on steroids: don't just see other people's screens, collaborate on top of them using annotation and cursor sharing. Collaborate over real whiteboards with real markers: just point your laptop camera at the whiteboard and turn on the whiteboard enhancements. Real time audio transcription (in Beta): take meeting notes. And for all of these, you can post the results of your work to slack. In fact, if you are a slack fan, you can launch us from slack. Go to http://cyclops.io/slack, and add us. Then just type /cyclops in slack and you'll be up and going. Let us know what you think!

@hnshah @samson_timoner I can't seem to find the whiteboard feature. What am I missing?
