We’re announcing an awesome new feature today: voice chat on your wiki. You can talk to anyone (using voice) for free. This works for 1-20 people with no software download needed — and it’s ready to use today.
Watch the video below to see how it works:
What the video says:
We partnered with YackPack to bring voice chat to the PBwiki community. The Voice Chat plugin (also known as WalkieTalkie) brings live voice to your PBwiki pages. Everyone looking at the wiki page can hear your voice when you push down the “live� button and talk into your computer microphone. They can push the button and talk back. This makes it easier to collaborate with your team, classmates, or work group.
Insert the Voice Chat plugin on any PBwiki page, or you can put it in your sidebar (this makes it visible from all pages).
A very good use: You can leave your wiki page open all day and benefit from a “push to talk� voice connection. Any time you have something to say to your team, push the button and talk. It’s simple.
WalkieTalkie Widget . . .
* is free
* requires no installation or registration
* works on PC or Mac
* works anywhere in the world you have Internet
* connects your group with high-quality voice
The big news: You can use voice chat on your PBwiki today — free. Just insert the Voice Chat plugin by clicking Edit Page >> Insert Plugin >> Chat.

I’m using this great tool on my Europe- Hiking in the Alps BLOG.
Thanks,

Oh my gosh! You’re giving this away?? The educational community will be all over this.
Thank you, your wiki is great! I’m just trying the voice chat and I know my kids will love it.

This is going to be incredible with our online students! And the cost is perfect since we have no budget!
Thank you, your wiki is great!
Can you integrate podcasts into the wiki? Is there a gadget for this?
Is is possible to record the conversation? It would be very helpful.
how do i add this to my site?
As a language teacher Yackpack is fantastic.The class has just been to Europe and now with this students can talk again to their hosts from the other sde of the world from home or school.
PBwiki is a powerful tool for my distance learning classes.
thanks a lot i will use it.
Good to see yack Pack is working again.
They were off for a while and I shall certainly go back to add this to my wiki.
Its a great feature and wonderful for class instruction and tutoring too..

I am not able to find the yackPack or Walkie Talkie plugin on any of my pages or in the Sidebar. I find only the basic “Chat” plugin. Where would I find WalkieTalkie?
Thanks for your help!
Dean
thank you
So is this can only be used on wiki? It reminds me of skipe. I think that could be a valuable tool for small groups mabe working on the same project. I am going to have to check that out!
thanks a lot i will use it.
