If trackercam had a text chat too, then it would fit my needs. I also just realized that MSN 6 only allows one person to se eyour cam at a time. Does Yahoo Messenger have this limitation. The people at http://www.anywebcam.com are claiming they will have a text chat component for their software soon. That may fit the bill. Not sure what the quality is on this product though,
I’d prefer to use one solution. And with one of my requirements being simultaneous audio broadcast with the video and optional text chat, that rules Argus and many other solutions out I think. I think I’m going to settle with MSN Messenger 6 for events where approving a viewer or two is no big deal. And then when I’m away, I’ll use Yahoo Messenger for remote room monitoring.
Most people that would want to tune into an event have XP already but I’m still wondering if they don’t have XP, then do I have to use Yahoo Messenger instead of MSN for Video? I guess I’ll eventually find out. If MSN Messenger allowed 150% and 200% zoom on the large screen size, and allowed you to configure it to allow people to tune into my webcam without permission, it would hit the Bulseye, but as usual, the product makers are not fully in touch with the wide range of consumer needs.
MSN doesn’t let you enlarge the image beyond 100%. ‘Large’ isn’t that large, especially on these newer LCD hi-res monitors where your screen is 1280×1024 or 1600×1280 (on my notebook) – the window is tiny! Granted the picture quality isn’t that great when you magnify by 200% but it is a nice option to have, especially if you are sitting back from the monitor. I really don’t like the fact on MSN you can’t set it up where people can just click in ‘watch my webcam’ without having to grant permission each time. Maybe for events all use MSN and for monitoring purposes I’ll use Yahoo.
