Hi

some friends and I want to link up by web cam to play
Dungeons and Dragons from 3 locations (the paper and dice
version) we have Logitech web cam messengers and would
like help in setting this up using XP Home and Professional
reply either here or by e-mail (e-mail address removed)
thanks
 
Greetings Robby,

Unfortunately you can't -- Windows Messenger supports one-on-one voice/video conversations
only. Although MSN Messenger 6 would allow you to "share" your webcam with multiple people,
audio is still limited to one-on-one. If you want this functionality [for free], you might
try Yahoo Messenger instead:

Hi JW,

That's not exactly true -- it will with a MCU (but arguably, not for the home user).

Hi Trevor,

A MCU is either a piece of software or a hardware device which allows Multipoint-based
conversations (hence, Multipoint Control Unit -- MCU).

Here are some examples:
