organ_shifter Posted November 6, 2005 CID Share Posted November 6, 2005 Google Talk users will be happy to know that the messenger is progressing nicely. It's just added video. The plug-in for Google Talk will enable users to hold video voice calls on a one-to-one basis or with groups as large as 200 people, as well as to share photos and applications with whoever's on the calls, according to Santa Cruz Networks.

x_6985381 Posted November 6, 2005 CID Share Posted November 6, 2005 yeah 200's a little high google, might wanna try and testing it first before they just type shit out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted November 6, 2005 Author CID Share Posted November 6, 2005 yeah 200's a little high google, might wanna try and testing it first before they just type shit out. I'd hope that they've already taken it through rigorous tests before releasing it. Google has one of the best track records around, so I'm pretty confident that it'll perform up to it specs. I won't ever be on cam with anything close to 200 people though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted November 7, 2005 CID Share Posted November 7, 2005 without even looking at it i would surmise the group calls with up to 200 people are set up with one person streaming his video out while the rest watch, like for corporate kissy kissy motivational type BS. if it works and it can also stream desktops it's not a bad solution for companies that are spread out and not big enough to warrant the investment into real conferencing software i guess.

netmasta Posted November 7, 2005 CID Share Posted November 7, 2005 That's what I imagine it is too. Even with 3 monitors you couldn't see 200 cams at once, not to mention the required bandwidth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted November 9, 2005 CID Share Posted November 9, 2005 course you can always just upload to a server and then the server uploads to whomever wants to see your video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
