So it’s unlikely that someone would want to use this for their home network – but perhaps an important executive who is working from home might use this in their home office. The only up-front expenditure for companies looking to buy the Onion is a $1,300 charge (it’s on sale for $1,099 over the holidays) for the hardware component. Those options range from $6.99 per host per month (for up to 10 participants), all the way up to $56.99 per host per month (for up to 100 participants – wow!).
The company’s free service lets one person host a videoconference for up to three people – if you want to have more hosts, you move to the paid plans. Meetings can be created and viewed across a multitude of devices, including PCs, Macs, smartphones (iOS and Android) and tablets via the ezTalks app. Once hooked up, the Onion connects to the ezTalks cloud-based videoconferencing service. The Hong Kong-based company had a successful Indiegogo funding campaign for the device, and is now ready to expand its offerings to the general public. Network connectivity is handled through an Ethernet port or, if you’re brave, Wi-Fi.

The device (I don’t know why they call it the Onion – it doesn’t look like one particularly) is an all-in-one videoconferencing device (camera, microphones, speakers) that sits on top of an HDMI-enabled TV or monitor to provide conference room video and audio.
I had a chance to get an early version (really early, as there is still some rough edges to be worked out) of the ezTalks Onion.
