Google Voice Chat?

Are there any Mac IM clients that will allow me to have voice chats through Google talk?

You can't do audio chats from iChat to the Windows Google Talk client at this time.
iChat uses a custom system for audio chats, and the only client that speaks this system over XMPP (Jabber) is iChat.
The Google Talk client uses a system that, with some changes, is now a forthcoming standard called Jingle. All being well, on the 31st of October the Jingle standard will move forward and become a draft standard. After which Google should hopefully update the Google Talk client to use the new standard and other clients should also start to implement it. When iChat will do so no one outside Apple knows but, IMO, it will happen sooner or later.
Anyway, short version is: don't expect to be able to voice chat between iChat and the Gtalk client before Leopard is released (and possibly not even then).

Ksurl - Found w/ Little Snitch after Google Voice

i just wanted to go on record to say that i too found that ksurl was connecting and only cropped up after i installed Google Voice/Chat/Talk on a Mac.
i still am not clear about what it does or why it's connecting (or trying to, i stop the thing) but here is the best/most simple explanation: http://themacxperts.com/cgi-bin/dada/mail.cgi/archive/mactec/20090526111503/

+I also found some unprepared disk permissions just a few mins ago+
+It says in 12 pages a lot of bad permissions. They all have to do with my Airport.+
+I don't want to repair them though because I'm using Little Snitch on some of my files for security.+
If you have a problem with permissions, you should repair those. I don't know why you'd think it would mess up things - repairing permissions fixes them.
+Update 3: BTW, I just went into software update. It can't check updates because of a "network problem". I never had this error before. Any ideas?+
I don't use Little Snitch, but I would suspect that you have a setting there that is preventing your uploads as well as your communication with the Apple server. Hopefully someone using that app will chime in here on that.
So, until someone using Little Snitch can chime in, I would suggest you try turning it off for a short while; repairing your permissions, and then try to upload your videos. If it works, then you'll know the culprit and will need to adjust some settings there. If it doesn't, at least we've eliminated it as a source of the problem.

Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser

Can i get help on how I can successfully install the new google voice video chat software. I keep having an install error. My google voice phone always worked until a week ago when suddenly google would not let me call out from any browser until I installed their new google voice and video chat (made by vidyo) software. I was told by genius bar to install Yosemite, which I did. But that did not solve the problem. I removed macKeeper, as well, since a techie friend told me that could be the cause. Nothing so far has worked. When the problem first happened, it seemed to only happen in Chrome. Google voice calling out worked fine in safari, for about a day or so. Now I cannot call out from any browser. I can, however receive calls, and make calls within the video hangout.
I can be contacted directly if questions at gary at couplewise dot followed by the usual extensin

You can only suspend service for 3 months at a time (with or without payment) and only twice a year.

How to Voice Chat on Google Talk with IChat

I am a new mac user, started using just yesterday. I need some help to configure my IChat for Google talk. I managed to configure ichat to do normal text chat thru the settings in google's website. but i am unable to do voice chat. i need help coz google talk is one application that i use extensively..

Gizmo (http://www.gizmoproject.com) allows you to by using a proxy to convert SIP to Jingle. It also does the same thing for Yahoo! Messenger and Windows Live/MSN Messenger users. I've no idea how well it works though.
We'll have to wait until Leopard's released before we know whether Apple has added Jingle support to iChat. If they have you'll be able to do audio (and possibly video) with Gtalk users natively. I wouldn't count on Apple doing this though.

Voice chat with psi -- Google chat

Hello all,
I have been trying to find a linux IM app that can use voice chat with Google Talk. As far as I can tell, psi is supposed to support this.
I tried version 0.11 from pacman, which connects and everything but there does not seem to be any voice chat.
I used the AUR package and compiled the latest svn version, 0.12rc3 and it works ok, but I still can't find anything within the program to do with voice chatting.
I have been all over the psi wiki etc., and it all seems to suggest that voice chat is included and is working with google chat, but I sure can't find it. Some info dates back to late 2005 with the libjingle branch, but I believe libjingle is now in the main program.
Can someone tell me if voice chat is included in psi, and if so maybe a hint on what might be going wrong for me.
Cheers,
Wittfella

I have been banging my head agaist this and am slowly getting somewhere now...
Psi does come with jingle, but its not enabled by default, because its still deemed 'experimental'.
To get the psi-svn AUR package to compile with voice chat support you have to do a number of things:
1. Use the 'configure-jingle' with '--enable-jingle' option instead of the regular 'configure' script.
./configure-jingle --prefix=/usr --enable-jingle
You can either modify the PKGBUILD or do it all manually.
2. You have to have a specific version of ortp installed otherwise it will not compile. This happens to be ortp-0.7.1 but our pacman version is up to 0.14.0 or so. Luckily you can find the sources for ortp-0.7.1 and it compiles and installs fine.
3. Now the biggest problem. When you try to compile you will get gazillions of errors. It turns out they are quite simple, and are caused by the incompatability problem with gcc-4.3. Most of the errors are solved by opening the offending header file and inserting.
#include <cstring>
So after all that, the good news is I have managed to create a working copy of psi with voice support, however:-
psi <--> google talk connects but there is no audio from either end
psi <--> psi voice chat seems to work fine
If anyone is interested I created packages for psi and ortp. Let me know if you have any more success with google talk.
psi-jingle-1166-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
ortp-0.7.1-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Gmail chat, google voice when they hear you, you don't hear them.

a) gmail chat, google voice
In gmail chat, google voice what might you ask your friend to try by way of getting thier gmail chat, google voice to work if you can be heard by them clearly on their iMac desktop Apple computer but you don't hear them on your iMac desktop Apple computer?... given that everything works okay like you can heari the ringing tone to connect, volume is set okay, speakers are working okay for other things but when connected you don't hear them when they hear you.
b) What settings?
Or what gmail chat, google voice settings and Apple settings might be double checked at both ends?...

HI,
In iChat > Preferences > Video section > Bandwidth Limit set the speed at both end as 500kbps.
This can help if one end has a much faster internet connection than the other.
It can also help where ISPs try to work against Peer-to-Peer file sharing.
Video and Audio Only chats are Peer-to-Peer and suffer when ISP slow down the connection to combat this.
It is more common in Cable connections than DSL ones due to low contention rates.

Why can't a Google Voice # be entered as a mobile number, it can accept texts?

I want to get texts about my bill and payments, but I can't enter a Google Voice # to do it.
Amazon can send me texts on that number without any problem.

Verizon's official support channels are through phone and chat. They don't do email support.
The "Contact Us" link will give you the phone and chat options, plus the forums. Verizon doesn't do as good a job as I'd like explaining that the forums are primarily for peer-to-peer support. We "Community Leaders" remind them of this when given the opportunity. In the meantime, we all have to follow Verizon's rules and procedures, as this is their sandbox.
Verizon does have folks who monitor social media including these forums, Twitter and others. It's up to them to decide if an issue will be escalated to their support team.
Your question about Google Voice numbers may or may not be noticed. It doesn't appear to me to be a simple support question as it most likely involves the infrastructure of telephone numbers. To do what you want will most likely require changes to their systems and may involve systems at Google as well. In other words, it's most likely not as simple as changing a setting on your account.
Good Luck.

Voice chat for LAN Working :) , but For Internet Voice Chat Not Working

Hi, all I have developed voice chat for lan , but when i try to connect to internet it doesn't working. Pls let me know the reason why is it so?
I am behind the Firewall and firewall doesn't allow me to connect to server or transmit RTP data to the another User. Why is it So. Please Reply As Soon As Possible!!!!

That's exactly what i am talking about. Your IP address is private. Means, it is not routable outside your organization. Means, that you cannot receive anything from outside, because technically this private address does not exist outside your network.
However, you might be able to send audio to someone outside who has public IP address (PLEASE, read up about private and public IPv4 addresses and NAT in order to understand what your problem is. Just one Wiki page that you can dig up in Google.com).
Now you simply cannot use your chat from inside your organization to chat with outside people. It will not work. You need public IP addresses in both ends (i.e. you and remote party) + firewall rules must allow UDP traffic for certain ports, that your program uses.
If you want to overcome private addressing problem manually, i dont know how to do it. But what i know for sure is that it would be painful. My application that i made uses a VoIP server (SIP server and an RTP proxy server). These servers do private address handling (NAT handling) for my audio/video streams.
You have an option though. Go to your network admin and lick his/her brain. Ask for a public IP address (they might have some in reserve). Do the same thing at the remote end.

Voice Chat with iMac

Is there a way to have a voice chat using an iMac?

You may need to open certain firewall ports for audio and video to go through on both your router, and the Security system preferences. I know that's the case for iChat. Could also be the case for Google.

Hi
Other alternatives based on the amount of info in your post.
Has she set up her Google Name in iChat or is she logged on via the Web Site (Google Mail page) ?
iChat cannot Video to the Google Mail Login page chat option or to the app called GoogleTalk on a PC.
Another thing.
If you login to the GoogleMail Web pages you will get logged out of iChat (GoogleTalk account) to a partial extent which may explain the loss of Video or Audio iCons.
iChat reports in a Text chat window that you have Logged Off.
However you seem to be able to continue the chat - but it separate from the web Page chat - You send from the web page and that chat will get the next response, send from iChat and it gets the next response (I can't remember if the Buddy told me he got two Chat windows at his end)

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
A year old MacBook could be running OS 10.5.x (Leopard) and iChat 4.x.x
Or it could have come with Snow Leopard (10.6.x) and iChat 5.x.x if updated.
Your sepcs say that you are running Snow Leopard (10.6.4)
Can you go to the System Preferences > Security and if the Firewall is On can you go to the Advanced tab ?
IS Allow Signed Apps in use ?
If so has iChat been Added to the List ?
Also Stealth needs to be Off.
Have you allowed the ports iChat uses through your Routing device ?
Most domestic devices only have the first 1024 ports open and iChat uses ports above this figure.
If your device has it, Enable UPnP to open the ports.
Nothing in System Preferences > Sharing needs to be On (Selected) for iChat to do Screen Sharing.

Possible to make calls with Google Voice account through iChat?

I have a Google Voice account (have for a while now), which allows me to make calls through VOIP. I've recently lost phone service and have noticed that an option when making calls in Google Voice is through Google Chat.
Now, I can never get Google Chat to work on my Macbook, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get it to work with iChat.
I have signed into my Google account through iChat, but when I make calls in Google Voice and I select to call through Google Chat, it says "Calling You" like it would if I were using my phone as the proxy, but it doesn't do anything.

I think I figured out how I want to do this.
For others in similar situations (this is assuming you HAVE a Google Voice account, which they don't give out anymore, AFAIK), go to http://www.google.com/talk/ and download the plug-in on the left. Install it, then open up your gmail in browser. On the left side, there will be a section that can let you make calls directly from your computer. SUCCESS!!
