Tooling Up For Video Chat
There are two types of video chat. One-way video chat allows the Web user to see and hear the person he or she is chatting with. However the Web user still needs to type instant messages to communicate. Two-way video chat is like having a conversation with someone in the same room. People can see and hear each other. For two-way video chat, people need a web cam and the software that comes with with web cams, for proper installation and mobility. When connected to a computer with an Internet connection, the web cam transmits live pictures over the Internet. Speakers, a sound card and a microphone allow web users to talk to each other. This is one way to get the best from video and chat.
