Pidgin Audio And Video Chat Improved and Working

There was a time when all that pidgin could do is just chat . But now pidgin comes with loads of addons which makes pidgin a very powerful tool . Pidgin since recently started audio and video chat for a few protocols which include the popular google talk .


Initially pidgin's audio/video chat ran into a lot of issues which includes either the call would just drop or pidgin would freeze or only one party could hear etc etc etc . But until recently i must say the pidgin audio/video chat support has improved drastically. No more call drops , very good clarity . In certain protocols only audio chat works but video doesnt . But i must say the fact that pidgin managed to get atleast audio chat working in most protocols is just great .

Even the file transfer in chat protocols have improved , no more error messages during file transfer between two yahoo buddies or gtalk buddies. I hope to see a lot more improvements in pidgin in the coming future .
