multiple connections??

[L.S.]

New to messsengers but would like to connect to grandkids in 3 locations
across country at same time.
Have purchased a webcam, set it up using messenger but can't find these
answers.

1. Will live messenger allow multile connections?

2. If not, does any of the other IM's allow it?

thank you,

L.

Greetings,

I assume you want multi-person webcam with audio? Messenger lets you share your webcam with
multiple users, but no audio. Skype lets you have multi-person audio conversations but not
video.

I assume you're looking for easy all-in-one applications, www.oovoo.com can do it, but since
it's a server-based solution, there are some delays with the connection...

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the info.
Someone told me they though AOL IM could do the trick. Will check it out.

Nope, that won't work either.
Seems the first major IM service that can combine video and audio into
multple-person connections will blow the other IM's out of the water.
Will look at www.oovoo.com
