Q: On MSN Chat, many of my netizens can use the camera in NetMeeting video Exchange. But I don't have any video devices attached to my computer, no video drivers installed, how can I make a video chat?
A: Video chat requires a PC camera and microphone. Before making a video chat, make sure that the camera driver is properly installed, that the microphone is properly connected to the sound card, and that the microphone option is turned on in the audio properties. Connect the camera to the computer, and then turn on NetMeeting.
If your system does not have this software, you can go to Microsoft's official website to download. When we first start NetMeeting, it prompts for personal information, and it is recommended that you fill in the correct information to make it easier for others to find.
NetMeeting then asks for the server to be selected. If we have a video call with a distant partner, we can only choose Microsoft's default server. It should be noted, however, that some of the communities that provide broadband Internet access may have their own dedicated servers, which are much faster.
The following step is quite critical, it will determine the video phone screen compression rate, at this time can be determined according to the actual situation. It is worth reminding that if you use the xDSL and cable to reach the rate of more than 2Mbps, then it is best to choose "LAN."
When you finish these settings, you can see the interface window for NetMeeting. At this point click the Third button on the right to open the Search menu, if you want to use Microsoft's network for video phone, you have to apply for a MSN account, fortunately this step is relatively simple. If your friends are online, then we can invite each other through Microsoft's server.
