Please don't use obscure ports for the sockets (aka tcp:4000).
1) many corporate/etc firewalls filter these type of packets
2) my personal reaction when the browser requests access to a socket on an unusual port is "Deny". Which is just what I did, and of course then there is no notification to me that it failed or any way to create/join a room.

edit: now realizing it's probably corporate FW related, blocking port 4000
Can you check Inspect Element -> Console and see if there are any errors being reported?
Thanks!
We'll get everything behind a load balancer on port 80/443 pretty soon.
Sorry about that!

you don't get the embedded functionality - suggest you capture the _popup segment and remove it for consistency of display
