Talking to someone using Voice Chat

Voice Chat lets you speak with a person at the other end of a LapLink connection, using the same line that transfers data between the two computers. Both computers must be configured for full duplex if you are to talk as you would on the telephone. If either computer is configured for half duplex, you must wait for the other person to stop talking before you begin.

How you talk to the other person in Voice Chat depends on whether the current conversation is using half duplex or full duplex.

You can adjust the volume of the speaker and microphone or mute them entirely.

When you’re using half duplex, watch the icon to determine when to talk and when to listen.

Use Voice Chat to talk to someone you’re connected to over LapLink while using other LapLink services like File Transfer and Remote Control. To use Voice Chat, you must have a computer that is capable of recording and playing sound.

You may have started Voice Chat when you connected to the remote computer. If not, you can start it after you open the connection.
