Setting Up Video Chat Instant Messaging in Iraq

(Note: will expand on this topic when better information is available.)

Soldiers may no longer be able, in some locations in Iraq, to use Yahoo, AOL and MSN IM programs to setup video chat sessions with webcams on either end to communicate with families back home due to the non-secure nature of using the Internet and IM.

In summary, here is how you would setup video calling to a solider in Iraq:

Connect and setup a webcam on each computer, one at home and one in Iraq

Create an account profile, one for each person

Log-in, tweak the settings, and see and talk to each other in person!
