  • Chrome and Firefox. Chrome runs the voice channel in an offscreen document, Firefox inside your Teams tab, so on Firefox closing that tab ends the channel.
  • Up to 5 or 6 people. Beyond that, a peer-to-peer mesh costs too much upstream bandwidth.

    • No account, no sign-up, no usage tracking. The signaling server is a dependency-light Node service, and it is the one serving this page.
