SKYPE ?

thirtypence

Lads, i have a laptop and my brother who lives in oz has a laptop too......what do we need in order to talk over the internet and see each other at the same time? I know we need a webcam each but what other software do we need? Ive heard skype mentioned but i dont have a clue how it works? Also is there a cost for talking to each other over the net and using a webcam at the same time?

Thanks,
Martin.

Hi,

Skype to Skype is free. All you need is a decent broadband connection, the skype application and a headset.

Doesn't make any difference if you are using a webcam except the connection might break up a bit. This depends on your / his broadband connection.
