MyFC Voice Chat

I'm MyFC member Redders123. We've been working on a free voice chat/conferencing service for MyFC members - we hope this will soon be available through the main website, but in the meantime it's available for anyone to use from this site.

 :: Freefone access to Voice chat system now available - 0800 169 8639 :: Also Skype into the show click username Fleet.Loober ::

This is a demo on Youtube

The plan is to use this service to run live and interactive Talkshows; hosted by MyFC members and including contributions from Players, staff etc. You'll be able to speak to those that matter. The resulting shows will be available for podcasting. Another feature allows MyFC members to host their own ad-hoc shows and broadcast live via their MyFC profile using this flash widget. (You have to download an mp3 encoder to do this; instructions are hopefully clear enough) Image:Widget.jpg

The software is available for PC and MAC and in English, Spanish, French, Arabic and Chinese versions. (No spyware guaranteed!)

There is no need to register, but it's useful if you change your name to your MyFC name so other members can find you when they click the search (magnifying glass) button. You can load your own image if you want or select from the avatars available.

The system will automatically connect you to other MyFC member when you run it. You can set up your room so that others are muted when they arrive. The default setting is 'push spacebar to talk', but you can change this in 'Room' > 'Volume' so you can be heard all the time. Mouse click on others to mute them; right click to block.

Record an 'About me' message; this is what others hear when you are off-line - they can leave voicemail for you as long as your computer is on and the software is running (in the systray).

The buddies list lets you add your friends - you'll be notified when they are available.

The system works on a peer to peer basis so will link MyFC member together using just the processing power on your computers and your internet bandwidth. The more folk you have in your room the more audio compression we use. The signal strength indicator will show you if things are getting wobbly. We've been developing this software for a while now with just this sort of situation in mind - we'd really appreciate your feedback to redders123 or feedback@loober.com - thanks
