Jackie Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 LAST EDITED ON 12-Feb-04 AT 09:41 AM (GMT)We use the instant message service either provided by our ISP aol or Hotmail. Both of these have the ability to use audio although you do sometimes get a few seconds delay depending on factors various. We have not as yet used video but I note that places like Darty and some supermarkets sell cameras for less than 100 and I imagine that you can get them in the UK at places like Comet and PC World. We have received video and sound from someone in the UK but the pictures were, whilst good, quite a bit jerky. We are not yet on broad band maybe that is why..............John in Dept 79 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazan Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 You can download Messenger 6 from the Microsoft site and your local Hypermarket should have a decent webcam for well under 30. Mine cost 20 and works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
