I didn't get a chance to try Chatb yet (would still like to test later).

I got AppRTC video working with one person (it seems it might be limited 
to one-on-one, not sure?), but not audio.

Besides the FOSS issue, I actually have audio problems in Google Hangout 
too, so I have extra reason to try alternatives.
