Gizmo Project has released a beta version of Gizmo 4.0 with video conference support. Video support, from what I could tell, is for Windows only. Send me the download link if I’m wrong. Here are some of the fixes and improvements according to Gizmo forum:
Fixes:
- Hanging up video call intermittently freezes app
- Presence information not always correct
- Video on low-end PCs peg CPU usage at 100%
- Locking issue when stopping/restarting video
- Screen goes black when in fullscreen mode on video call and other party hangs up
- Added new incoming call indicator
Improvements:
- Video preferences have been implemented in Options window
- Improved Calls Tab
- Replaced icons on chat window (IM)
- UI fixes on Call/Video window
- New graphics throughout client
- Added tooltips for all buttons
If AMSN could implement the video support for Linux, I don’t understand why Skype and others take so long to implement it. It would be nice if Gizmo, Skype etc provide video support for Linux too.
