Q&A: Cross Platform Video Chat Solution

In this video, I answer a question from Felix who writes: “I bought a MacBook and an I-Phone G3. Now, I am living in the UK but my family is back in South America. I bought the laptop because I miss them and would like to see them every once in a while, however they have PC. Is there a program that allows to have video chatting from Mac to PC, if so would you be so kind to explain me how as if you were talking to a dummy?”  Well Felix, I don’t believe you’re a dummy, but I’ll do my best to explain a solution to you.  In my experience, the best solution for this scenario is Skype.  Skype works on both Mac and Windows computers and has video and voice capability.  It’s relatively easy to setup, and is free.  Make sure you don’t get caught up in the premium features that cost money.  In order to do what you need to do, you don’t need to give Skype one penny!  Hope this helps!  Got a question?  Send it in to help@bwana.tv.
