 Start a video conversation

If you have a webcam, you can call your contacts and have an video conversation with them. This features only works with certain types of accounts, and it requires the other person to have an application that supports video calls.

From the Contact List window, click the video call icon next to the name of the contact you wish to call and choose Video Call. Alternatively, right click the contact and choose Video Call.

A new window will open. When the connection is established, you will see Connected at the bottom of the window, along with the total conversation time.

To end the conversation, choose CallHang up.

To turn a video conversation into an audio conversation, choose VideoVideo Off, or click the video call toolbar button to deselect it.
