multiple connections??
New to messsengers but would like to connect to grandkids in 3 locations
across country at same time. Have purchased a webcam, set it up using messenger but can't find these answers. 1. Will live messenger allow multile connections? 2. If not, does any of the other IM's allow it? thank you, L.

multiple connections??
Greetings,
I assume you want multi-person webcam with audio? Messenger lets you share your webcam with multiple users, but no audio. Skype lets you have multi-person audio conversations but not video. I assume you're looking for easy all-in-one applications, www.oovoo.com can do it, but since it's a server-based solution, there are some delays with the connection... -- Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - Windows Live Messenger MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger MessengerGeek Blog: http://www.messengergeek.com Messenger Resources: http://messenger.jonathankay.com (c) 2008 Jonathan Kay - If redistributing, you must include this signature or citation -- "L.S." wrote in message ...

Sorry for the delay and thanks for the info.
Someone told me they though AOL IM could do the trick. Will check it out. L. "Jonathan Kay [MVP]" wrote in message ... Greetings, I assume you want multi-person webcam with audio?

Nope, that won't work either. Seems the first major IM service that can combine video and audio into multple-person connections will blow the other IM's out of the water.
