Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

What its installed base runs
via wordpress.orgShare of active installs on each version of this plugin · 45% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.
Estimated active installs
The public count shows “400+”. Our estimate pins where the real number sits.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. A declining trend compresses what a buyer would pay.

I’d like to test this one, but I won’t : I can’t activate it, maybe a mistake of mine, but not clear enough : ” Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Non-static method VWvideoConference::conference_post() cannot be called statically “

This solution can stream from a webcam or IP camera, or any other stream solution (RTMP for example)Supports multiple channels and allows users to create their own channelFor me, it was a good choice.

They are providing pathetic services after purchasing their license. we have paid them two times for license and also paid additional payment for pushing streams last month. We have provided all access to configure but still they do not configure it. They are also giving reply for every query after 4 to 5 days which is non professional behavior. Second time our license is going to expire again but still they don’t complete our setup.

After trying out this free plugin nothing really worked on my site without adobe flash, which is pretty much discontinued by Adobe. I tried to upgrade and thats when things got real. I was told i’d need to move my entire site from WPEngine, the most powerful WordPress hosting company in the world, besides WordPress itself and only host with them… Refund request was quickly denied and i was threatened with legal action…. All of this happens inside emails filled with excuses, long enough to write a book.
