Skype help


H5

Recommended Posts

I need to get Skype going to get this free call thing going for my bro in the US and some relatives in France. As far as I can tell I need a microphone, speakers, a webcam and to download the software.

 

Is that it? What microphone / webcams are the ones to get? I know nothing! :blush:

Get yourself a headset from PC World (or similar) that way you won't get feedback. Just get a cheap one, the sound quality is bobbins, just like a normal telephone. Its fine for talking but don't worry about getting an expensive mic.

 

I don't bother with a webcam, just use it for voice but you can get reasonable webcams for about £20 in the same place.

Bah don't listen to her. I bought a webcam so my wife could chat to her sister in new york about 18 months ago. So far she has used it once (when we first got it) and never again.

 

She just chats to her sister over MSN (which incidentally can use the webcam).

 

Also nothing stopping the relatives having a webcam so the missus can see them, even if they can't see her.
