Big love to the people behind this wonderful new addition! I also want to be able to call my far flung family and have us all in the conversation together. It seems right now it is just one one one calls. Is there capacity to have multiple people on a call at the same time?

hi, at the moment firefox hello can only be used for a direct conversation between two people.

multiparty video-conferencing is on the long-term roadmap but it might still take a lot of engineering (firefox hello is based on the webrtc standard which is a peer-to-peer protocol between two machines only - multiparty calls might be a rather tricky thing to figure out on this basis).

Thanks Philip. I look forward to Mozilla doing this as I trust them and don't trust Skype now they are Microsoft and I want to ditch them. As it is it is a fantastic facility to have and use. Many thanks FF team! <3
