Welcome to the release of 726, which, in addition to many other improvements, includes a major overhaul of our already simplified interface to be even more intuitive and useable.

New additions to VSee include a new “History” tab in the address book. Now you can monitor your calling and easily call back those you’ve talked to. Also, we now include an early version of H.323 and SIP support, which we encourage you to play with and give us feedback on. (I’ll post instructions for H.323/SIP in the Forums this evening.)

H.323/SIP Plugin

Although we now support H.323 and SIP calling, please consider this plugin "beta plus" and provide us with feedback. Thank you.

Use the following url to retrieve the plugin:
http://vsee.com/deliver/vseeh323sip.msi
It will require an uninstall and fresh install to make it active.

In order to make an H.323 or SIP call, type "h323:ip_address" or "sip:ip_address" in the "Type to search or call" field in the Address book and hit Enter.

Two things missing from this release: change account (log in with different account credentials) and transparency! I love the transparency feature.

Will they be coming back soon/ever?

Hi Rich,

I'm finding out for you, but until I get word, I wouldn't get my hopes up. I think most users prefer to either see or not see the people they're meeting with, and several of us found to transparent windows slightly aggravating when manipulating the apps beneath them. So far, you're the only person who's asked about transparency since it disappeared.

Is there anyone else out there who really misses transparent windows? Let us know.

I had set VSee to remember my credentials and to also log me in at Windows start. That effectively removes one's ability to log out and log in with a different account. I had to uninstall then re-install and leave un-checked the remember my password box.

I completely understand about seeing the app icons underneath a transparent screen but unable to do anything with them; but I also like to push the limits of VSee - I found a nice use case in placing the other endpoint's transparent video window over a powerpoint prior to sharing the ppt so I could read my notes off the pages, advance the pages to where the presentation starts then share - all without having to break eye-contact with the participant(s).
