Tinychat controls
TinyChat is a nifty little service that lets you create multi-user chat rooms at a moment's notice. Last time we checked in on the service, TinyChat had just added the ability to do voice and video chat. Recently the company rolled out a handful of new features, including a few that give you more control over the chat rooms:
  • Ability to control who can broadcast audio and video
  • Give admin access to other users with the /oper command
  • Push to talk feature that helps prevent audio feedback and the sound of people talking on top of one another
  • Require Twitter mode, which requires users to login with their Twitter credentials (which can make it easier to track who is in the room).
The latest version also includes better video quality. TinyChat says the video quality of the free chat rooms is 4x better than it was.
