Users generate a unique URL for their personal chat room, which they can then share with team members, friends, and others for a seamless audio conference. Though it only works on non-mobile web browsers, it can easily be integrated with various chatting applications such as Hipchat, Campfire and Flowdock. The service is built using the robust Plivo webSDK and is open for further enhancements by the online community.
