Gamers can now enjoy Browser based group chat service from Voxli
Voxli, is planning to make group voice chat simpler than ever before. With the service, gamers can now have a group chat session and enjoy push-to-talk using a browser plugin by visiting a static persistent URL. Currently this is available on Internet Explorer and Firefox (both Mac and Windows) and the company plans to bring support for more browsers soon.
Chat clients like Ventrilo, TeamSpeak etc. are available in the market since long but one needs to enter port numbers and server addresses manually which can be a bit to geeky for some gamers. But with Voxli, one can get a static URL so that they can chat with their team very easily and quickly.
Now as the service is in public beta(1-2 months), Voxli will be free for everyone, and users can use it without having to register. But the downside is that, one cannot restrict anyone access to his chat room, so there is a vulnerability for scams. But when Voxli will begin charging users for its service, this bug will eventually tail off.
Voxli’s service is mainly targeted to appeal the gamers, who need to speak very often with their play mates while playing team based games. Games like World of Warcraft, Rise of Nations have made voice chat a necessity, because a number of players are involved as a team.
Users need to assign a hotkey in their chat room that can bring up Voxli whenever the hotkey is pressed. Around 200 users can be handled in a chat room, and gamers opening new tabs will let gamers to chat with others if they like. In such a case they’ll need to assign a different hot key.
