Can I use a dial-up or Satellite internet connection?

You can use a dial-up or Satellite internet connection to chat with hosts, but note that a slow connection may delay the video feed. To improve video streaming, please follow the instructions below.
Make sure that your modem is not occupied with any other program:

Close all other browser windows while Video Chatting

Close all programs that use the internet, such as IM programs (Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, AIM, etc.), and make sure they are disabled (not active) in your system tray.

Free up memory by closing all other programs that may be running in the background. Check your system tray (bottom right-hand corner of the screen, next to the clock) to make sure only the bare minimum is running on your computer during a Video Chat.

It says to click on a pop-up window but I'm not getting a pop-up window

Please make sure you have the minimum requirements necessary to Video Chat
