Video Conference

To participate in a Video Call you must have a webcam, microphone and working speakers. Up to four Qnext Friends can participate on a single Video Call. Please note that at this time, Qnext does not support Video Calls to other IM networks.

Sending

To send a Video Call invitation, simply double-click on the desired recipient’s name, and click the Webcam icon at the top of the message window. Wait until they accept the call, and then begin seeing and speaking to each other.

Receiving

When someone sends you a Video Call invitation, their name will jump to the top of your contact list. A sound will play and there will be a flashing Video Call icon in the system tray. Double-click the Qnext Friend’s name or the flashing icon to act on this invitation. Once the Video Call window is open, click the animated Accept icon to accept the call, or the End call icon to decline the invitation. Once connected, begin speaking to each other.

Adding/Removing Users

You can host a Video Call with up to four Qnext users, including yourself. Once the call is active, just drag and drop Qnext Friends from your contact list into the Video Call window. That’s it! They will receive an invitation and choose to accept or decline.

To remove users from an active Video Call, roll the mouse over their image and click the X that appears. They will instantly be removed from the Call.

Note: Only the Video Call initiator has the ability to add and remove Friends from the Call.

Troubleshooting

If your image is not appearing or your sound is not being heard, first make sure that you have installed your microphone and/or webcam properly.

It is possible that Qnext has not detected your hardware. To fix this, just click the Tools menu, and select Options. Select the Devices tab and click Detect. You will be notified of the successful devices detection. If you continue to have problems, please refer to the manual that came with your hardware and make sure that it is properly installed.
