We are using WebRTC jingle on our website and now we want to use OpenTok in IOS app. Is it possible to connect these two?
The OpenTok mobile SDKs are only designed to work with web clients that also use the OpenTok JS SDK. My suggestion is to just use the OpenTok JavaScript SDK for your site. If there are some features missing or something you need in addition, let me or anyone else at TokBox know.

Is there a client SDK for QuickBlox in codenameone? I am trying to build a cross platform chat application using Codenameone and QuickBlox. Codenameone of course does not use the standard java/android SDK and I don't have the skills to do a native client. Is there a Codenameone port of the QuickBlox SDK?
As far as I know it wasn't adapted. It isn't very hard to port an SDK but it does require dealing with native code. My only suggestion is to hire someone or upgrade to enterprise and file an official request for that SDK
I see WebRTC is the the best way for developing it. But there are some paid frameworks in market for establisting video chat between wide range of clients like Web-Web, Web-Mobile(IOS, Andriod, Windows, etc.,).
Web-Web communication flow is very simple to implement. Now, I want the same for Web-to-Mobile and vice versa without using any external frameworks built on top of Native WebRTC. Please suggest me some best approach to achieve this.
The latest Chrome on Android is WebRTC friendly, that means if you have a web app that implements WebRTC. It will be working on Android's Chrome.
If you decided to create you own native app that implements WebRTC. Here are some great sources.
iOS WebRTC: https://webrtc.org/native-code/ios/
Android WebRTC: https://webrtc.org/native-code/android/
Follow the instructions in each allow you to build the native WebRTC framework that you can later on import them into your native projects.
The WebRTC APIs are somewhat related to the ones you are using in your web application. You need to do more documentation reading for those as you are using the official framework that built from the source, not a third library.
Before starting you need to review and test platform to make sure it works fine for all your target user categories. You can do that by reviewing references and also testing some existing apps for user types you plan to support.
As you mentioned wide range of clients, you need to identify the limitations of WebRTC technology. You can also evaluate other technologies: in example you could reliably serve most client types with mobile and web apps that use RTMP.
Trying to use the webrtc widget on an ipad and it is saying that the browser does not support webrtc.
Is there a work around that people are using for this? A number that people can call into on their phone.

Currently there's no support for WebRTC on most mobile platforms, the notable exception at the moment is the latest version of Android running the Chrome browser.
Additionally, WebRTC does not have any native support for phone dial-in, however providers such as Twilio have begun development of WebRTC - phone interfaces (https://www.twilio.com/docs/client). Also, development of a dial-in feature would require the addition of a server to handle the authentication credentials associated with a service such as Twilio.
Video chat on the iPad/iPhone will likely be supported as soon as Apple's Safari browser adopts the WebRTC specification. However, telephone dial-in is not currently something on our immediate roadmap for the video chat widget.
I created Google packaged app (not extension). Now i am going to use chromecast device. Is chromecast API working with packaged apps?
Currently this is not supported but it is on our radar to provide support in future.
I'm trying to set up in browser video chat for a web application. Unfortunately I don't think my servers would be able to handle it. Is there any way I can 'outsource' this to existing services such as the Hangouts feature in Google+, the new video chat in Facebook or the Skype API. If yes, which would you recommend and why?
TokBox makes it easy to add video chat to your site using either the
OpenTok API or OpenTok Widgets.

Looks promising, haven't used it myself (need a self-hosted solution).
