video conferencing

[oldbeefer]

I've been trying to find a video conferencing programme (cheap) that is compatible with my PC and my son's MAC. Just come across a free download from sightspeed. Works a treat, the screen can be re-sized (unlike AIM) and it works PC to MAC. just for info in case anyone else is struggling!

I've been using Skype to do that for a long time. Come to think of it ... does Skype video work from PC to Mac? Maybe none of those folks is a Mac user.

Keef - yeah, that was the main problem - it could be done afer a fashion with the paid version of Trillian, but no where near the quality of sightspeed.

I use Skype for video calls from my XP machine and it works fine for me.

Seems that Skype for Mac does do Video calls according to this FAQ?

Skype does indeed support video on MacOS X. It works fine between my macin the UK and sisters PC in the US.
You can download the beta from here!

Hadn't realised Skype had gone video PC to MAC. Will download it and see how it compares to sightspeed.
