BISTRI, Live Communications PaaS for developers

The use of the conference mode has greatly improved, including the use of the conference with screen sharing. No need to open 2 tabs to share screen. Now, enter in a conference room with your contacts and you have direct access to screen sharing feature*

Two years ago, Bistri was the very first service to provide on a production platform an implementation of WebRTC.

Today we are really to proud to be the very first service that let you use your default browser to make WebRTC video calls & video conferences (up to 4 participants).

Yes, I mean IE on a PC, Safari on a Mac.

This dream come true thanks to a free vendor-independent plugin, made by our friends from the W3C, Temasys.

Galyia from Moscow and Elena from Mountain View are our Bisters of the month.

I interviewed them on Bistri to know a little bit more about them and their experience of Bistri so far.

When did you start to use Bistri? We started to use Bistri a few month ago, in March 2013

How do you use Bistri? We use Bistri almost everyday to contact our relatives all around the world and also to keep in touch with our friends connected to Facebook and “Вконтакт” (Russian Facebook) thanks to Bistri.

What do you like about bistri? Why are you using Bistri more than another service? Obviously the simplicity, we are not computer experts. On top of that, it’s free and there is nothing to install. We really like the possibility to use Bistri on mobile phones and touchpads. The conference quality is also higher compared to the other services we tried.

What new feature would like Bistri to develop to make your life easier? Conference with more than 4 persons could be a plus !

Share your love for Bistri and be our next bister of the month !!

Bistri is celebrating this holiday season with the new release of its free and simple video calls solution. One click, and anyone can join a group video call with up to 4 people. Try the demo conference now by clicking on the image below.

Bistri is a WebRTC-based platform that allows users to share a permanent URL that links directly to a video call in Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Android. It works on Mac, PC, and any Android phone or tablet.

Bistri is proud to democratize video conferencing. Unlike Skype, the group video call feature is free. And unlike Skype, FaceTime or Google Hangouts, participants do not need to register for a user account to join the video chat. It’s what video chats were born to be.

So even if your family and friends are spread out all over the world, you can count on Bistri to bring you all together.

Wishing you a Happy Holiday Season!

“Even though my parents are in Tahiti for Christmas and my brother is in Berlin, we can all come together with Bistri this holiday season” – Lina D.

and... tada!!! Bistri Wins WoW Factor Award for its incredible demo of a video call from a simple QRcode.

Then Bistri's CTO Emmanuel Venisse made a video call from Google Glass to a real Bistri user on the Web.

The Wow Factor Award was given to the demo that most had the judges surprised and shows innovation and thought. The award recognizes the industry contribution of the Bistri WebRTC products. As Bistri becomes a seasoned veteran and 3-time Gold Sponsor of WebRTC Conference and Expo today, it is also celebrating some exciting news just in time for the holidays.
