Skype

I was wondering if anyone has this. video chating. its freeware so all you need is a webcam and mic. and a lot of webcams have the mic installed. seems to be popular.
Im thinking of getting it but wanted to see if anyone here has it and how it works for you

No issues, it's pretty solid. Works best of course with a fast connection.

When we've talked to Sonnabend in AussieLand it sounded like he was next door. It's supported by our board software too. You can turn support on/off. :thumbsup:

It's very cool, but a little sensitive to internet speed variations.

I have used Skype to chat with my cousin in Austria and it performed beautifully. I could see the cracks in the paint on the wall across the room. That was Mac to PC. I have also used Skype from my Samsung Galaxy S II to my friend's inexpensive tablet with less than fabulous results. My niece on her Galaxy and me on mine, from room to room in the same house worked well, but with a slight delay from real time.

thanks Novaheart. ive posted on some other forums and got some really positive hits. guess ill go webcam shopping tomorrow. I suppose there no issues connecting them together. well, maybe getting my friends to buy into it........:D

I have skype, but don't do the vid link. You can use it for text messaging too like yahoo chat or msm chat. Much more stable then those two and nice feature is they will save the entire converse if you want to look back at who said what and when they said it.

I use it a lot for online gaming where it comes in very handy.

My mother keeps asking me to set this up on her computer so she can chat with family in Illinois. I just finished the download. Now I can resume my normal plans for the day...:D
