Hi all,
I've been trying to video chat with my father-in-law.
I've got gnomemeeting (Linux) and he has iChat and ophoneX (Mac OS-X).
We can get video between gnomemeeting and ophoneX but no audio.
Sometimes we got bad audio but mostly none.
After some reading, it appears the two programs are not compatible.
I don't know if its a codec compatibility issue or what until I can mess with
ophoneX next time I stop by his house.
I also tried to use gnomemeeting to chat with a netmeeting (MS) user.
I could make a connection but no video or audio in either direction.
I can connect fine with another gnomemeeting user - video and audio are fine.
His iChat seems to be based on AOL instant messanger but I haven't seen video
in any of the linux AIM clients.
My question is:
Is there a video chat program that works across all 3 platforms (or at least
mac to linux)?
Thank for any help,
Bob
