Nevermind. Apparently I'm an idiot who can't spell.

I'll try to pop in later if I can.

Me too. Download the Ventrilo app and its much easier to do. You can follow the directions in the original post. Its pretty easy. 

[goldenlove3]

I'm about to jump in the shower but I'll try to figure this out when I'm done.

[rablissful]

I would totally come play, but I'm about to pass out after being at school for 13 hours.

[youdontsay]

Gah I was just in, couldn't chat because MH got home and now he is about the disconnect the modem to re-route our internet so it doesn't act like it's from 1998!

[requiressnacks]

Gotta jump my DH for a little bit. Might join later.

[teraiin]

I found my headphones with the mic! Hopefully I can play tonight

[valie]

I'll for sure join in in the future. Tonight I'm vegging.

[ohinvrtedworld]

I'll try to play tonight!

I didn't see the App on Windows phone. But mayhaps iPad?

I think Sheila said there isn't one for the windows phone. I'm not sure about iPAD. I was having issues with my mic on my macbook though.

There isn't an app for Windows phone because app developers hate us Windows phone users. They do make an app for the ipad.

It's so weird though because the night before it was fine and we didn't change any of the setting in the vent channel.

Do you remember it crapped out towards the end of the night and I had to switch to my phone? Since that point it won't recognize the mic on my computer.

It is voice and chat. Some do one or both.

You'll be fine, I promise! I was all scurred at first, but it's really laid back. We talked about this last night, actually! You're not on demand to talk the whole time, so you can speak up when you feel comfortable. Everyone sounds different, so don't worry about that at all!

My worry is that when I call into work meetings when I work from home it's hard to understand the chit chat before a meeting because people are sometimes talking over each other. I'm guessing it's not been like that?

IMO:

So, I use mobile, and I move my screen so that it shows everyone (unless there is more than my screen will allow) and watch for the lights to change as people are talking. Talking at the same time does happen, but if you are paying attention, you can see who was "first." It makes it a little easier, for me, to know when to hold on, or speak up. And sometimes you can hear multiple people at one time. I haven't figured out why that is, though. The conversation is slowed down a little bit so that everyone can hear each other.

TL;DR - Bolded happens, but it's not too bad.
