887558 2010-05-24 01:08:00 I've bought my daughter a webcam that she can communicate with her overseas relative. Both have the same Logitech webcam and are using Google video chat to communicate. Her relative is receiving sound and video perfectly but the video my daughter is receiving looks like a slideshow. Sound is good. Can somebody please tell me the possible causes for this? Any help is appreciated. Many thanks. Cyberhuskey (13067)
887559 2010-05-24 02:55:00 Whats your computer specs and more importantly her internet connection speed. Is it dialup or BB. Sounds more like her internet connection is too slow.

887562 2010-05-24 21:33:00 Hi. It's wired broadband and her internet provider claims a 5000 kbps download and 500 kbps upload speed. Cyberhuskey (13067)
887563 2010-05-24 21:38:00 500kbps upload speed should be more than sufficient.

I would check a few other things like making sure the remote PC isn't running anything like an Anti-Virus scan which is causing it to slow down. It takes a lot less of your computers resources to send sound, compared with video.

I've personally found the quality of Google Chat to be superb!

Would that be "Google Talk"? :)
