Audio Conference Plugin Request by laric01 on 11-06-2004 at 07:07 AM

I would like to see a plugin that allows one to audio chat with multiple people in full duplex in much the same way that the regular 1 on 1 audio chat works, I do not even know if this is possible or not but it would be very useful, it may even already be available. I know that several years back when audio chatting first became available with messenger you could chat with more than 1 person at a time however microsoft apparently blocked that functionality for some unknown reason and I have found it to be a pain to get 4 or 5 people to get netmeeting going when your talking with people that know little about computers except where to put thier game cd in LOL:D... If someone would let me know about This it would be appreciated...

I hope it works for you :)

I have used Skype be4 and do not like it. It is a resource hog and conflicts with alot of security apps and online multiplayer games, as well it is lodded with spyware and adware, and besides all of that I really do not want to have 20 different messaging apps just to chat with other people. I use msn messenger and only msn messenger. I even uninstalled the built in windows messenger and as I said in my initial post this can be done with netmeeting it is just a pain to have to load another app and again netmeeting has some minor issues that I do not care for... "like having to give out IP Addy's I run through an annonymous proxy server to avoid people getting my IP so I do not like giving it to those that I am chatting with...
