Video calls with WebRTC
First of all hello to everyone, and happy new year!
Well, some days ago i wanted to use video calls on my old G4 mac, but i realized there are no more programs which allow you to do that. So i got an idea... I knew there were sites where you can video chat with people, so i tried them.
I tried every single site that use WebRTC standard, like Gruveo or similiars, tha call starts, but you can't see the other person.
Thanks in advance for your help.

We don't support WebRTC. This is documented in the release notes.
It's not a high priority given that most Power Macs can't handle the CPU overhead of WebRTC effectively, unfortunately.

Thank you for your answer Cameron...
I apologize for being bad informated on the argument... But if there are no ways to make it works through the browser, do you know any other manner to make video calls on our beloved powerpcs?

Unfortunately, I don't use my G5 for that currently, so I don't have any suggestions for you. Perhaps another user does.
