Hi, apologies if incorrect forum, but would anyone have any recommendations for setting up video conferencing? For my mother to check her grand children, so needs to be simple. Broad band at both ends, reasonably modern PCs, no web cams acquired yet. TIA John

Skype video conferencing seems to be better, not as jumpy! seems a little easier to use once its set up
