Hi Folks
I have been thinking about doing some training online with a friend. Usually we use skype to communicate while we play or analyse and it got me thinking. If Lichess were able to integrate some sort of VOIP technology into the site, it would really make Lichess the place to go for training. If it were possible to attach your skype id (say) to your handle on Lichess, and the site put a call button next to the name of a player if they have skype enabled, then it would be easy and quick to start either an audio or video with your opponent to discuss the game after.
Think how this would impact the Twitch channels that we have currently. You would open up a whole new training style with viewers discussing their games with the channel host during/after, without all of the back and forth organising a skype, exchanging skype ID's, etc, etc.
If you simply had the ability, in you lichess settings, to enable or disable video.. It would be cool no?
