It’s been a long time since I’ve found a use for netmeeting (2 years? lol)
But from what I can remember – it was possible in netmeeting (somehow… I swear it was). Anybody want to jump the boat here?Try checking out this web site. It might be what your looking for.
No, NetMeeting only allows point-to-point voice and/or video connections (although is does allow multi-point chat, whiteboarding, and application sharing). Same as MSN Messenger.
If you scroll to the bottom of the page that Geeker linked to there is a section on a trick that claims to allow you to do a three-way (or more?)voice chat, but it’s a bit complicated. It requires that everyone is using Windows XP and in addition to Windows Messenger, they must also be running MSN Messenger with a different account. It would look something like this:
Jeff (Windows Messenger) -> voice to <- Dee (Windows Messenger)
Jeff2 (MSN Messenger) -> voice to <- Steven (MSN Messenger)
Steven2 (Windows Messenger) -> voice to <- Kim (Windows Messenger)
Dee2 (MSN Messenger) -> voice to <-Kim2 (MSN Messenger)Would everyone be able to hear everyone else? Probably not too well, if at all. But you would be able to hear at least two other particpants pretty well. Probably wouldn’t work well over a dial-up connection, either.
If someone tests this and gets it working, I’d love to hear back from you!
If it works (at all), then it will also work on Windows 2000, Windows 98 SE (not plain 98!) and probably even also Windows ME, as long as you tweak MSN Messenger so you are able to start more than one instance.
Yahoo in Java Chat rooms support it, and iVisit (http://www.ivisit.com) supports it for multiple Web Cam and point to point voice chat.
