Just an update. I did go ahead and buy the ProChatRooms software. It will integrate with VBulletin, at least for the most part. My members love it. It has most of the features of that 123Flashchat had but is much faster. I installed it on my own server and it was fairly quick and easy. One note is that you must have VDO Drivers installed on your server. I got a warning that the drivers were not installed and had to get that done. It was no big deal with my host though. Took them about 15 minutes.

When I say that it integrates for the most part. They have VBulletin integration files that you download. After you have installed the chat room, you upload the integration files. Very simple. At that point, when your users go to the chat room they are automatically logged in. What it does not seem to do is pull any profile information like profile picture, avatars, etc. into the chat room. You have to upload your avatar from there. Also, they are supposed to have a file for "who is chatting" to add to your forum page but I haven't found it yet. Waiting on a response to a support ticket on that one.

Otherwise, it works very well and is very fast. It's the best thing I've used since 123Flashchat went away. Actually better in regards to speed and etc. My members on iPhones and Androids say that it works there also but I notice when I tried it on my iPhone the sounds do not work. Not a huge deal to me.

They do have an audio/video plugin but I did not purchase that.
