ascii-chat – video chat in your terminal

ascii-chat is a client-server application that operates over TCP/IP. It supports color and audio and crypto and compression and multiple clients and has lots of other little features and options.

The client functions by simply printing text and terminal escape codes to your terminal, so it works EVERYWHERE that terminals work: on rxvt-unicode in OpenBox, in a Putty SSH session, in iTerm and Kitty.app on macOS, and theoretically everywhere else terminals run. You just need a webcam.

This is free and open source software.
