MenuI'm trying to work videoconferencing into a mobile application that I'm building that works for users regardless of OS, any suggestions?
Or does anyone know of any mobile applications that have done it well? Thanks!
Answers
One of my startups leveraged mobile videoconferencing to provide real time coaching lessons. We implemented https://tokbox.com. It is platform independent, relatively easy to implement, and highly scalable.
They have plenty of customer success stories to back it up as well. https://tokbox.com/customer-stories
If you have additional questions around implementation, I am here to chat.
Best of luck!
I assume you mean a mobile web application (in-browser based), as opposed to a native apps? If that is the case you have to go no further then searching for deeply functional mobile and responsive sites like mobile.twitter.com .
As far as OS-agnostic mobile web applications for video conferencing—no better place to start then Skype.
Video conferencing software has exploded in popularity over the last year. With people working from home and remote work becoming the new normal, businesses rely on video conferencing services to communicate. But not all video conferencing software is the same. The tools you use to video chat with your friends and family across the across are not necessarily the best business communication options. If you are running a small business or just need to occasionally meet with a small team, you probably will not run into problems with restrictions. There’s nothing worse than being on a video conference with a poor stream. It can really distract from the purpose of the conference. Each participant’s individual Internet connection will obviously impact the quality as well. However, some software is better than others in this category. The best way to determine the video quality of the software is by experimenting with free trials and reading reviews from current customers. If you are using video conferencing software for work, it is useful to have an all-in-one collaboration solution. Now everyone can collaborate from a single platform, instead of bouncing back and forth between different software while on a video conference call. Cloud software or browser-based video conferencing software is extremely flexible. For example, let’s say you have a sales team that uses video conferencing to communicate with prospects. Desktop apps are commonly used for in-house video conferencing. The best video conferencing software will support all major operating systems. Mobile video conferencing is crucial for people who need to join calls on the go. However, the experience is enhanced by downloading the mobile application from your video conferencing provider. Nearly all the best video conferencing software on the market today will have some mobile conferencing features. Some businesses require a complete meeting room system for video conferences. If you are having a video conference call in an executive board room with a dozen people present, a laptop at the end of the table is not going to cut it. Blue Jeans has a wide range of video conferencing options for businesses of all sizes. Depending on your needs, there are four different Blue Jeans video conferencing products for you to choose from.

iOS App: Beta vs Launch Quietly?
I would suggest launching in a foreign app store only (ex: Canada). That will allow you to get more organic users to continue iterating without a big push. I got this idea from Matt Brezina (Founder of Sincerely, previously Xobni) https://clarity.fm/brezina - he's the man when it comes to testing & iterating mobile apps.DM

Whats are some ways to beta test an iOS app?
Apple will allow a developer to register 100 UDID devices per 12 month cycle to test via TestFlight or HockeyApp. Having started with TestFlight, I would really encourage you NOT to use it, and go directly to HockeyApp. HockeyApp is a much better product. There is also enterprise distribution which allows you far more UDID's but whether you qualify for enterprise distribution is difficult to say. As part of your testing, I'd encourage to explicitly ask your testers to only register one device. One of the things we experienced was some testers registering 3 devices but only used one, essentially wasting those UDID's where we could have given to other testers. Who you invite to be a tester should be selective as well. I think you should have no more than 10 non-user users. These people should be people who have either built successful mobile apps or who are just such huge consumers of similar mobile apps to what you're building, that they can give you great product feedback even though they aren't your user. Specifically, they can help point out non obvious UI problems and better ways to implement particular features. The rest of your users should be highly qualified as actually wanting what you're building. If they can't articulate why they should be the first to use what you're building, they are likely the wrong tester. The more you can do to make them "beg" to be a tester, the higher the sign that the feedback you're getting from them can be considered "high-signal." In a limited beta test, you're really looking to understand the biggest UX pain-points. For example, are people not registering and providing you the additional permissions you are requiring? Are they not completing an action that could trigger virality? How far are they getting in their first user session? How much time are they spending per user session? Obviously, you'll be doing your fair share of bug squashing, but the core of it is around improving the core flows to minimize friction as much as possible. Lastly, keep in mind that even with highly motivated users, their attention spans and patience for early builds is limited, so make sure that each of your builds really make significant improvements. Happy to talk through any of this and more about mobile app testing.TW

How can a small offshore development company find companies/software sales people to sell their service in the US/UK?
My company does a lot of consulting with offshore firms who are looking for a way to generate new business, so I hear this question a lot. My first reaction is that you need to totally reverse your mindset when you talk about your own company. You mentioned that you have: a great software developers team, proven track record, passion, real value But, everyone says that. There a 10,000 companies that have those things, so a customer isn't going to notice it. You need to figure out what your company is best at (doesn't have to be technical) and present it as a solution to a specific problem that clients have. Maybe a speciality, or really good project management, really good communications, a special expertise or experience, a personality, experience with a certain type of client.. really anything.. But, there must be some thing that makes your company 'special' otherwise you will be lost in the mix. Don't worry about things like rates, or the fact that you have 'great' developers. Those are generic. Think about why a client would really choose you, and try to build on that! After you understand your company identity, it gets much easier to identify and engage marketing channels because you understand your target.DH

Where can I find programmers willing to join a growing mobile start up for equity only?
You won't find anyone worth adding to your team willing to work for equity only, no matter how compelling your product and business is. The realities of the talent market for mobile developers anywhere is such that a developer would be foolish to work only for equity unless they are a cofounder and have double digit equity. Happy to talk about hiring and alternatives to full-time hires.TW
