You can use it now! Click the "Meet" link on the top. Signup isn't even needed, but helps if you want to build a library of files and drawings.

Yes, using FP10's P2P tech with Stratus, with a Java applet helping for desktop sharing.



Ahhh - I see. I Had a play - looks nice. I'll test it for real next time a need a meeting. Few things I spotted:

1. The vertical height is a little over 100% (so I have a vertical scroll bar, but only for about 20px missing off the bottom)

2. The desktop sharing plug-in crashed my Flash Player. Chrome recovered, and the second time it seemed to work, but I didn't get any notification that it had worked.

3. I really like the freehand->geometric functionality.

4. I think the dialog box at the beginning Re. UDP is not a good user experience.

If you know anything about Adobe's plan for a commercial product to replace Stratus then I'd love to talk (or even if you just have some guesses, I'd love to hear them). Email: tango charlie sierra two two zero one at gmail


Thanks. Regarding:

1. That's intentional, so the user would scroll down past the the logo and "Signed as ..." portion at the top. But I guess that's not a good design decision.

2. Sorry! Need to test more browsers. Opera has issues too btw, but Safari+Firefox+IE seem to be happy.

4. Agreed. It turns out it's hard to check when the firewall is really blocking UDP, so we're having the user check for it. We think we have a solution for that though, and will release that soon.

No word from Adobe about a commercial version of Stratus or release date for FMS4 (which is supposed to support the functionality too). Btw, Adobe's Flash Collaboration Service (formerly "Cocomo") is also a contender for commercial release.
