TokBox Launches Desktop Client

by Michelle Lentz

Last week I wrote about how TokBox launched their new video chat for Facebook. This week they’ve brought video chat to your desktop.

Using the recently popular and cross-platform Adobe AIR, TokBox has created an easy to use application that might remind you of IM software or Skype.

From the desktop client, you can access TokBox’s standard features of video calling, IM, and video email. Similar to an IM client, the desktop app also lets you set your status and alerts you whenever someone initiates a chat. Similar to the online version, the application provides a link to send to others so that they may video chat with you, even without the software.

If you enjoy adding video to your calls and email, this is a handy way to access TokBox without having to open the browser.
