Skype is free online voice chat yes? Voice chat roooom???

Howzabout...HATRACK VOICE CHAT? YES??? WOuldn't that be cool?!

At least it would mean no more cursing at my 'm' key. [Wink]

How could something like this be set up, and is anybody interested in something like a Hatrack voice chat session? [Smile]

I thought skype was more geared towards video chat, and I wasn't aware more than two people could do it at any given time.

Well my recent experience was pure audio.

Posted by MyrddinFyre (Member # 2576) on :

Teamspeak!

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Skype is audio mostly, and you can have a limited number of people on a conference call at once. The audio version of it has been present fairly long....I have been using it for about 2 years now.

That isn't a bad thing....the only thing I didn't like about the teamspeak sessions we use to do was there were too many people talking at once sometimes. Smaller groups communicated better.

When I try to use it with multiple people, I encounter serious issues. People keep getting dropped from the conference call, and you have to shut it all down and start it over to get them back in.

I have used it with 3-4 people and it worked fine. They upgraded their servers about 6 months ago, and have recently doubled the number of servers....how long ago did you have problems, mph?

Posted by mr_porteiro_head (Member # 4644) on :

It was around six months ago. It might have been before they upgraded.

Posted by Earendil18 (Member # 3180) on :

Well maybe not have such a large group then I suppose hmm I dunno. [Wink]

I prefer Ventrilo to teamspeak. They are both better than Skype if you are looking for a chat type environment. I'm an admin on a 50 person Ventrilo server. I could look into setting something up with that.

From the age of this thread, it seems I'm very behind the times.

But I'm on Skype, so if anyone wants to say hi, just look for morsec0de.
