Abstract

In accordance with a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a system (10) for video chatting over a computer network is provided. The video chatting system comprises of a network chat server, connected to the computer network. The network chat server is configured to locate compatible user-computer system connected to the computer network. The compatible user-computer systems are capable of using chat services provided by the chat server. The chat system also includes two user-computer systems (12, 14), each user-computer system having a user. The two user-computer systems are connected to the computer network and are compatible with the network chat server. Each of the user-computer system is also configured in a manner so as to engage the services provided by the chat server to locate each other on the computer network. Further each user-computer system is also configured to run a video chat application. The chat system (10) also includes two video cameras (28, 30) with the two video cameras (28, 30) being communicatively coupled to the two user-computer system respectively so as to provide video and audio input for each of the user-computer systems, respectively.
