TokBox, Is It Working?

I have been running 3 three campaigns, 6 players each, these have been ongoing for about two months, weekly, POINT: we have been using TokBox only, this is essentially 18 players. We've been pretty successful using it with only a few minor glitches, what I would like to know is anyone else using it successfully, because there seems to be a lot of complaints. The only reason I use it, is because of the convenience. Just curious.

It works for most of the people in my group but it does not work consistently. At least 1 person in my group cannot use it reliably at all. - Gauss

TokBox doesn't work at all on my system. It will display just fine for about a minute and then it switches from a full screen to a wide screen display ratio. At this point, my video feed locks up. No idea why this happens. My webcam doesn't do this with any other video chat application. I'm pretty much stuck using Hangouts for the time being.
I've had it work for a few minutes, but it always starts failing after a while.
Wanted to say that the Dev team is very aware of players having problems with TokBox currently, and we're looking at a multitude of solutions. In the meantime, Hangouts are the most immediate fix: <a href="http://help.roll20.net/misc-playing-in-google-plus/" rel="nofollow">http://help.roll20.net/misc-playing-in-google-plus/</a>
Just to let you guys know, my guys uses the Google Hangout solution exclusively now due to our own issues with Tokbox (i.e. it just doesn't work for us) and you will be amazed at the difference in quality. Crystal clear, lag free sound every single time. If you're having trouble with Tokbox I can highly recommend it. Two issues you need to be aware of: 1. You lose some on-screen real estate to Google tool bars at the top and bottom, and these cannot be moved. 2. There is a known memory leak in Google Hangouts. It can take anywhere from 30 mins to 2 hours to manifest and it does so as general laginess and slow performance. jst hit F5 as soon as you notice it and all is well.
