I actually received a Google Hangouts invite late last year from a now former colleague at my volunteer job. He wanted to chat with me about something. I was able to download and install the plugin just fine, but it didn't work in Safari at the time. My guess is that this was a flash compatibility issue. But I have since had flash installed in Safari, so I might try again soon. But I also wanted to say that I took a medical terminology class a few years ago, and they used WebCT. I was still using Windows at the time, and I had several issues including a very inaccessible chat area.

How about you give Google Hangouts a try. I noticed there are some good accessibility improvements.
