Everyone knows the problems to communicate in real time with friends and family from far.
The Internet messengers give us a possibility to speak and write in real time, but not to listen to music or to watch movies together, for example. A lot of software companies and web sites are selling this service, but why to pay money if you can use for free similar services that are good enough?
There are two known to me ways to do this – using suitable Internet site or using suitable application installed on your computer.
To use suitable Internet site for sound and video sharing in real time is simple. There is no need to install some special applications, quality is good enough (but not excellent) and it doesn’t matter which operating system runs on your computer. All you need in addition is to know internet links to some suitable internet sites and to have some basic skills to use internet browser and your computer, tablet or phone of course. So, this way is suitable for everyone.
For Window’s personal computer owners it is possible to use suitable communication free software installed on the computer and the quality is excellent! To achieve this using NewTek NDI tools for example, at the beginning you need to download the tools. Then you have to do initial installation and adjustments of these tools. You need to have installed Skype application and adjust it too. After that you can send to your friends your computer desktop and system sounds for free just with a few simple mouse clicks. There are similar Newtek NDI tools for MAC too, but I’ll be concentrated to explain how to use these free tools for Windows PC only.
The next post will give you step by step explanation how to listen to music and how to watch movies together, in real time, using some free internet sites. In the final posts of this topic I will explain in details how to achieve excellent quality in real time online audio and video sharing, using some free applications installed on your Microsoft Window’s personal computer.
Let’s start now.
