  Using Voice Chat In Activeworlds
 
In February, there has been introduced (for testing ) a new VOIP codec, which means that VOIP has been re-written. The VOIP codec has been replaced by Opus-Codec. This is an advanced SILK codec, SILK is also used in the Skype program.
Voice Chat (VOIP) exists already for a long time in Activeworlds, and the use of VOIP became for free in 2013 (before you needed to pay for this function).
You can read how to use VOIP on this webpage: venice3d.net/2013create2
In this article we will talk about this again, but we also talk about ohter features like VOIP in Moderated mode.
