Hello! Welcome to the eBuddy blog. Here we talk about our passion, the team and our products.

Webcam Chat - Now Available on eBuddy

Posted by Vincent G. on May 5th, 2009

Webcam imageWebcam Chat has finally arrived! Your requests during the past months haven’t gone unnoticed: we’ve now built webcam into eBuddy Web Messenger!

We are thrilled to announce that we now support webcam chat conversations. eBuddy has partnered with TokBox, the super simple Web service for video chat and video email. Now you can have a webcam chat with all your friends to see what they are up to or what that new haircut really looks like. ;-)

How to start a webcam chat

It’s extremely easy to get started:
Simply open a chat, click the webcam button and you are ready to go! It doesn’t matter if your friends are on eBuddy, MSN, Yahoo! or Facebook; you will always be able to start a webcam session with them. All you need is a webcam!

We have just enabled webcam on all our servers, so you should see the webcam button every time you log in! Do let us know what you think after using it, that helps us making it even better in the future. When you need help setting up or using webcam chat, take a look at this page.

See you later! :-)

Vincent

  25. marrian Says: May 9th, 2009 at 1:09 pm

    Sounds so cool! This feature must really be convenient at all. The good thing is, you can capture all your friends’ webcam even if they’re on the other site. Well, it’s pretty fun though. I’ll gotta check this out. Thanks to ebuddy’s team!

  43. rachel Says: May 18th, 2009 at 7:01 pm

    i have webcam and everything but it say i have to turn off pop up blocker or summin like that im confused and dont know how to do it :(

  44. Vincent G. Says: May 21st, 2009 at 1:10 pm

    Thanks for all your great comments. :-)
    For people who cannot get it to work: Make sure to check our help page at http://ebuddy.com/ebuddy_webcam.php
    Also make sure you have a webcam connected to your PC, allow us access to the webcam and it should all work. Note than you can only send webcam invitations. You can not yet accept invitations from your friends, but we are working on that.
    In case you get pop-up blocker notifications, here is a great site explaining how to turn them off: https://host.softworks.ca/Agate3/blocker/disable-blockers.htm

    Are you guys planing on releasing webcam support for phones? The E71 series for example has a conference cam which would be great with ebuddy.

    Samsung i600 also has this feature, probably a few other phones!
