One way Video Chat with New Zealand - Possible?

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.messenger (More info?)

We have a baby on the way and want to set up Video Messengng with
Grandparents in New Zealand.

We have: Webcam (creative NX Pro), Broadband, MSN messenger account but only
Windows ME :-(
Grandparents have: no Webcam, Dial up connection, Windows XP with Messenger.

Can it work? Can ME + MSN messenger send voice + video to XP messenger? Are
we doomed until a) we get XP, b) they get Broadband??

Greetings,

Yes, you can do this! The only thing that needs to happen is the grandparents on XP will
need to install MSN Messenger (http://messenger.msn.com) and use that (as opposed to the
built-in Windows Messenger in XP).
