now it's hooked up to my audio card. Wasn't sure if the program is using the onboard audio or not

 

[So]

mine works but uses my webcam instead of my mic for sound input. It sounds surprisingly decent.

 

[dquan97]

I'm also wondering how this compares to Netmeeting

 

[So]

netmeeting does video. 'nuff said.

[BaboonGuy]

It uses a central server for the screen name database and what not but the actual calls are peer to peer. I don't think it will be a pay service, it will be like AIM or any messenger app out there except its live voice.
