william Posted September 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Video conferencing really works on the Linux version? :unsure: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't know, actually just using with yahoo, icq and msn. The file sharing feature is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smurfy Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 http://www.qnext.com/p_um.html Note: Qnext supports the Instant Messaging feature only, when using Qnext Universal Messenger to communicate with MSN, ICQ, Yahoo and AIM IM users. i.e. Voice & video chat only possible with other QNext users, can't do Yahoo voice or video chat. :{ Looks good though, may give it a whirl. I'm still Wine'ing Trillian as I'm not satisfied with Gaim or everybuddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted September 26, 2004 Report Share Posted September 26, 2004 Wow, it's a whole lot more than just an Instant Messenger. Might try it out sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 gaim now has a very nice file transfer mode, and gaim-vv (http://gaim-vv.sourceforge.net/) is working on video / voice. It's a royal pain in the posterior to compile at the moment, though. They're switching it to a gstreamer backend; once that's done it should get a lot easier to build. The intention is to roll the functionality back into the main gaim once it's sufficiently "done". you can get video and voice working on msn and yahoo right now though, if you're willing to persevere.

SoulSe Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 Gaim's file sending has only worked with other people using gaim when I've tried it. I still can't send files to friends/family using MSN Messenger - doesn't work. And I stay up to date with the latest releases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 soulse: it's been working for me for the last three or four versions...someone sent me some digital camera pictures over msn just the other week (he uses official client). weird.

william Posted September 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) I still can't send files to friends/family using MSN Messenger - doesn't work. And I stay up to date with the latest releases. I cannot either, never could even with gaim users on the other side.

adamw Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 hmm, I think I did that. not 100% sure, actually. I'll have to test it out tonight... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamw Posted October 2, 2004 Report Share Posted October 2, 2004 btw, I don't like the look of the app that started this thread. it's non-free and has an ugly non-standard interface. no thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
