Video Chats are good for many reasons, magicians and cardists are all over the world so what's better than jamming with everyone through video chat? I know there is skype and all but skype is only 1 on 1 video chat. I'm talking about a stickam room or something.

Could be fun, but we would need at least 10 people watching and 2+ people video chatting to make it real interesting.

Google + is a group video chat...I have seen 6 or more people in one of those chats at any given moment
Magical as Sin!

We had a grand old time whenever Lance would do a live chat. We'd talk about stuff for hours.

Not really all we need is a room ... where people can just go at any time and just jam with whomever is in the chat. We could also set times, but idk because everybody lives in different time zones.

It'd be really useful if we are having trouble mastering a flourish to talk with Simone in real time that can tell you what you're doing wrong.

I'm usually at work without audio or a webcam, so it's not the most useful thing to me.  The few times I do a chat while surfing the Discourse, I find it hard to divide my attention.  Factor in that there's plenty of chat sites online already and it becomes a question of why do we need another feature that's already out there and free?  The wheel works fine, why reinvent it?

It'd be really useful if we are having trouble mastering a flourish to talk with Simone in real time that can tell you what you're doing wrong.

Who's Simone?  :))  Lemme guess - "someone"?

You can always post that you're starting a chat elsewhere, like tinychat or something, and let Discoursians meet you over there.

Alex, are you still considering this feature?

Yeah that'd be cool. The few chats I've joined in on have been dope. Not sure how the timing and all would work though. The time zones complicates things a little

Eh, for some it would be more convenient - a late-night session in Las Vegas would be a morning session in London, a midday session in Tokyo, etc.

Yes, as expressed by Brownbaggs and Don, time difference is a big issue. But there could be meetings for certain time zones only!

That would be great! Tinychat is also pretty good for group chats.

Not needed.  My point was that for different people, chats at different times of the day work just fine.
