What's the best method for video/audio chatting online?

[Bryophyte]

My friend is moving to Australia for a few months and wants to be able to video chat with his fiancee. What's the best way to do it? Any one have good luck with MSN/Netmeeting?

I just use MSN messenger for audio chatting, I'm sure video chat works fine as well but I don't have a webcam

Don't forget you don't have to necessarily have to use a webcam, a tv card/video camera will also work and it looks a lot better.

actually a lot of the new camcorders have 'usb streaming' so you don't even need a tv card..and the picture from a camcorder is so much better than any webcam.

but, back to your question. I use Yahoo Messenger and it works well, especially with a broadband to broadband connection.

if you want to focus just on voice, try skype.

Thanks, guys. I'll pass it along. Any other suggestions?
