does any one know if a ps2 head set will work as a mic for the skype talk.

If your computer can accept it then it should work. Skype has a builtin test option to make sure you have your audio set properly on your PC. I suggest you try that ahead of time to make sure everything is working.

ok Thanks rico If it does then I look fwd to chiming in on this as well.

wait, do you mean I need skype 3.0 to do the call?

Geekyfanboy · March 09, 2007, 12:54:52 AM

Yes you need to download the newest version of Skype 3.0 to use the new Skypecast function.

This is the first time I have done this so we will all be learning together! I think it should be pretty easy. I have the show set to start at 2pm. I think I have to start it at 2pm and then others can join in. No limit on how many can join I think.

I'll post any new info here....

Rico · March 10, 2007, 10:49:40 AM

OK ---- here is the new info

TAKE 2 of the cast will start at 2:45pm EST....

THANKS EVERYONE! Once we got rolling I really enjoyed this. Thanks to all those that could make it. Sorry about a few of the technical glitches. Editing it up now. Sounds good so far! Will be up in the feed early tomorrow!

Yes it was alot of fun. We also had a really good time the hour before in our pre-conference room chat. One think I noticed is that out of the 12 that were there only about five or six actually spoke. We kept losing people as the hour went on. I'm not sure the larger group is best when it comes to skype calls.

Rico · March 10, 2007, 03:24:07 PM

I think I only saw two get dropped during the call. Wasd mainly. One thing folks should keep in mind is wireless isn't always the best for this kind of thing. Try to hook into a wired network - if possible.

Probably just go back to a normal Skype conference call next time - since it can take more than 5 people in it now.

We just need someone with a goood comp for more people in the confernce
