My inlaws live about 300 miles away and they have a PC running XP Home with a cheap USB webcam.
Thanks to the new AOL/Apple messaging clients, Emily got to show off her new missing tooth to grandpa!
As you can see from the capture below, the picture quality on the PC end is not great. I’m sure it’s due to the quality of the webcam and the slow USB connection on their end. Sound quality was excellent. But it’s still much, much better than any Mac-PC video conferencing solution out there. Starting up the connection was as easy as with any Mac user. Click the camera icon and connect.
Now my mother-in-law wants to look into Firewire cards and webcams for her PC.
