Is there a plugin for Trillian that will allow me use voice chat, either in MSN or AIM, because I know the actual programs support this function.:rolleyes:
Not today…
Voice chat is sometimes tricky to get working even when both parties are using AIM or MSN. Just imagine how many more things could go wrong if one or both were using Trillian. Personally, I don’t use Trillian for video chat either, even though the Pro version finally supports it properly in Yahoo. It seems to do so very inefficiently, at least on my poor old computer.
If you must use voice or video, your most reliable solution will be the native application (i.e. MSN). Since most of my messages are text-based. I’ll run Trillian much of the time. If I want to establish a voice or video link with a friend, I’ll ask them to hang on for a minute while I login using the native instant messaging program (and out of Trillian). It’s not the most elegant solution, but it works well for me.
So there is voice chat for Trillian (yahoo)?….where is it?….is it the “send chat invitation” function?
Chat invitation means group chat i.e. lots of people in a text chat room, like IRC channels.
By the way, noone could ever make a *plugin* to do voice chat, as plugins can’t get at the media’s connection to their servers.
Hmmmmmmmm i don’t know about that. How hard would it be to make a plug in that calls an external program? Plenty of third party Yahoo chat clients have working voice, they do it by hooking into the messenger dlls. So I would say it is possible for someone with a reasonable level of programming skill and slight knowledge of yahoo to code a voice plugin.
