You're in VideoXP » What I need to make a videoconference?

Needed instruments
The first component you need to have is a webcam, a little cam connected to your computer that allows you to send other users photos and videos trough the phone line. Another istrument is very useful while performing a videoconference: the microphone, that allows you to send your voice trough a phone line.

What software I need to install?
The required software is NetMeeting (if you use Microsoft Windows, it should already be present on your system), free software of Microsoft Corporation.
NetMeeting is also available on CD or on the Internet, at www.microsoft.com/windows/netmeeting. To install NetMeeting you will have to follow the on-screen instructions.

For more information about how to install videoconference instruments, please refer to the section "Installing Videoconference Instruments", by choosing it from the topics of this manual.

What kind of telephone line I need?
A common telephone line! You need only an Internet Connection. You should already have it if you're visiting this site!

How much is the cost for a videoconference session?
Videoconference is established via your Internet Connection, so you have only to pay your Internet Provider normally, no additional costs are needed!

NOTICE: as NetMeeting will not be free released from its next version, our goal is to use another way to obtain a cross-platform product!
