Having a Video Chat or Making Conference Calls

To set up a video chat, you must have a connection to the Internet, and ISP, and software that
enables you to make video calls over the Internet. As with chat or instant messenger software, you
can use this kind of software to chat with one or more people at a time. This software may require a
separate subscription.

The optimal distance for recording sound with the array microphone is about .5 meters (2 feet) away
from the microphone.
