Best way to carry out internet video calls

Daniel_B

Hi all,
I will shortly be getting broadband, and would like to make a video call to my parents who live in Spain, also with broadband, of a sort anyway!

I was assuming MSN Messenger, or Yahoo would make most sense??

Any ideas/experience/recommendations?

Cheers

Dan

Both Yahoo and MSN messenger are fine i use both
MSN messenger are easy to use but yahoo good if you have more than 1 person viewing with 1 webcam.
For a xample the spain relative and lets say you have 1 in USA and both want to see you at the same time and you see them.
yahoo lets more than 1 person view you at the same time and MSN does not.
voice calls are a bit flaky at times and i very often ask them to repeat them selves.
best way round it to get skype and use it for voice call and use yahoo or MSN to view :-)
