Topic: real time video chat

I would like to have a way to actually talk to some one ( like Skype or maybe Google hangout) so that suggestions for fixing a problem could be addressed in real time.

Re: real time video chat

I'm the same way. I prefer a call/video chat over texting or typing. It can certainly make it easier and faster than having to upload shaky pics.

Re: real time video chat

got my sktpe working again. also theres a group live chat app like skype you set up'room' with host in control (it may cost a small fee for host) called Ventrillo a online war gamer in a game I play used it long ago so we could do battles etc while talking to each other like military headsets. was cool. think I still have an install file for a version of it in my massive ref folders on puter someplace hehe. been like 4 years ago since used. lots can change in that time with puter tech.

Re: real time video chat

long time ago there was a virtual chat room with 3D 8bit worlds/rooms you went to and everybody was a floating avitar head you could drift about talking to others and go to an area with the group you wanted to talk to kinda like a party. me and my sons used to go to the 'Tiki island/room' mostly and meet in a cloud so others didnt bother us.

If you build it they will come. Then they will make fun of it, tell you it's not worth doing and go home and try to copy you.
