Alternative to Skype
Does anyone know of good alternatives to Skype for holding a group call? I am asking here because many of the alternatives are not very accessible if at all. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: Alternative to Skype
I'd like to use something where people can connect on their own. With Skype, I have to have all the Skype usernames, then add them all to the call.

Re: Alternative to Skype
Teamtalk which is widely used, has a Mac client, but the Mac client is unfortunately not all that accessible. The best one of those apps like that, where people can just connect to a server, has to be Ventrilo. If you want a server with a lot of slots, darkstarllc, at http://www.darkstarllc.com, offers Ventrilo servers at very reasonable prices. Hope this helps. . On Jun 28, 2014, at 1:04 PM, Brandon A.

Re: Alternative to Skype
Hi Dan, Thanks. Is this option convenient? Is it easy for people to install and connect?

Re: Alternative to Skype
Absolutely it is. There's even an iOS app called Ventrilode that people can get if they want to connect on iOS devices. On Jun 28, 2014, at 1:34 PM, Brandon A.
