ozpharlap Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Having an apple computer I now use their Facetime application, easy to use, great voice and video and just like using a phone, you call someone, and their mac/ipad just lights up and rings like a phone, and you can see the video of the person who calls you and then, if you want to answer, you just click to accept the call and carry on a video conversation ... this works even when the mac is asleep ... yes like skype but just so much smoother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsanuk Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi, Uh.. how is this 'so much smoother'? That is pretty much how Skype behaves for me as well. My Mom calls, I get a popup, click the Video Call option and we're good to go. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 My skype want pop up if the Mac is in sleep mode, and I don't have to have facetime open, it will activate itself and the call will come through ... I don't leave my skype on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khunsanuk Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi, I have Skype start automatically when Windows loads, doesn't show itself until needed. No sleep mode on my PC. Still seems pretty much identical to me. Sanuk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozpharlap Posted May 11, 2011 Report Share Posted May 11, 2011 I find skype video quality is not that great and audio can be ht and miss, never had any problems as to both audio and video on facetime, using the same server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skypr uses a lot of resourses. I use Microsoft Word and Corel Draw a lot. Microsoft Word hits the shitter when the file gets too big. Corel Draw hits the shitter if I open and close too many files. Even if no files are open, it will crash after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
