Video chat

does 7.1 do video chat?  and how does one hook that up?

The answer is yes; for the built in video chats, you need to have RMS installed or use a third party RMS service.

Any idea how I can get that? I have my own server, it still has lots of power..

Thanks

Then read:

So, how to members use the  Video Chat?

Did you connect Dolphin to the server? You can setup the RMS connection from the Admin Panel > Modules > Flash Apps > Settings. Enter the IP address of the server, and the RMS Port and RMS HTTP Port numbers. Unless they were changed for some reason, the defaults of 1935 and 5080 should work. Then tick the use RMS checkbox and save. You can then broadcast video from the main chat module, as well as the messenger.

I do have it hooked up, where do I click on something to video chat with someone?

For the chat, there's a section under the room/user list to turn on your camera and microphone to broadcast. You can use the full messenger for one-on-one chats, either from the simple messenger window (click the video chat link at the top of the window) or from the actions block on the user's profile.
