Title: Easy Grandparent-approved Video Conferencing Post by: Venkman on May 17, 2007, 03:44:20 AM So like anyone who's bought computer stuff, I've got piles of ball video camera. I'm configuring an old rig for my Mom (old for me, way very much new for her) and would like to install the video camera so we could occasionally let the kids videoconf with grandma.
Is there a good program out there easy for her to manage? I'm only really familiar with LiveMeeting and it feels more like an MMO UI than something my mother would be able to manage.
