*The conferencing client (ActiveX) can select most Windows compatible video devices. It is recommended to use web cams that are USB 2.0 or Firewire compatible because they reduce the load on the CPU. In addition, PC video capture cards and other video devices that include Windows DirectX and DirectShow device drivers, version 9.0 or later are supported, providing an interface to virtually any standard video device.
** All sound cards listed as 'compatible' to Sound Blaster (SB) Live or better will work with the audio conferencing feature. These are typically non SB sound cards manufactured after the year 2000 because they offer a more advanced recording and playback functionality. There are, however, exceptions where some older sound cards will work with the audio conferencing technology.
*** Due to the technical limitation of some video cards, the desktop acceleration feature works best with NVidia chipset video cards.
