The difference between Video Calling and Webcam Sharing


Resolution

Video calls:

  •     Are a one-on-one video and voice conversation with a single person at a time.
  •     Requires a connected webcam, microphone, and speakers.
  •     Requires that you and your friend use Yahoo!7 Messenger 10 or higher.

Webcam sharing:

  •     Is a live video feed that can be broadcast to one or more people at the same time (who are able to access it only with your permission)
  •     Requires that you launch a separate PC-to-PC voice call if you want to have a voice conversation at the same time.
  •     Only requires a connected webcam.
  •     Allows you and your friend to be on different versions of Yahoo!7 Messenger.
