Using The Panty Hog Video Suite
The videochat suite now integrated with Panty Hog allows all Panty Hog members connect in real time with a choice of video (webcam), audio, or text. The system replaces the need to use outside services such as Youtube, Yahoo/MSN instant messenger, and Skype. That is, members can now instantly record and save video, chat with video in the chatroom, instant message/video phone other members, and even play interactive games with other members. There is nothing to download or upload, when you are logged in to Panty Hog, it is all available to you. A webcam and a microphone will allow you to use all of the features, however you can view other member's videos, use the instant messaging system and the chatroom without a webcam or microphone.
Most of the videosuite features open in a new (popup) window so be sure to set your browser to allow popups on Panty Hog. Popups are good in this case because you can chat and IM even while not on the Panty Hog web site.
What is here and how to use it:
All of the links to access the videosuite features are located in the Videochat, Recorder, and IM menu that is located on the right menu area of any Panty Hog page when you are logged in. Just click the link to go to whatever area you desire. Details of each selection are below.
Your Chat and Video Profile
Here you can add some simple information and an image that is used when chatting or IMing. go ahead and complete this, it just takes a second.
Video Chatroom
The video chat room allows you to chat with other users using text, video, or voice. If you have a webcam or a mic attached to your computer, a small screen will pop up asking you if you want your cam and mic to be turned on. Just click the to give your permission or deny. If you have enabled your cam/mic, you can then choose whether to broadcast your audio and video by clicking the "V" (video) and "A" (audio) buttons under your avatar. If you turn these on, other will be able to hear and see you regardless of whether they also are transmitting audio and video. Some things to remember about the chatroom are that you create and switch rooms, whisper privately to a specific chatter, and add smilies and text formatting to your posts.
My Videos
This selection takes you to the video and audio recorder. If you have a webcam and/or mic you can instantly create a video or audio recording that will be saved to the member video area so other members can view it. When you click this selection, you will be asked to name your video/audio file. Name anything you like and press the start button to open the recorder. When ready press the "Rec" button and then press the "S" button to stop recording. You will then be given the option to preview, save, or delete your recording. If you save it, it will automatically be saved to the member video area for others to view. You can come back to this recording area and record additional videos as often as you like.
Member Videos
Clicking this link will take you to a listing of the videos recorded and saved by all users. Check/click the box next to video name or the box next to the member name (if you want to view all of that member's video recordings) and then select the view button from the top left button row to view the video. You can also click a button here to add a new video recording yourself.
Voice/Video Instant Message
Clicking this link opens the instant messenger function. It starts with presenting you with the Panty Hog member list. Scroll through the list and click a name to select the person you want to start an IM session with. After selecting the person, the IM pane will open type something (like "hello") into the chatbox and the person you are messaging with will be paged and asked to join you in private IM. If they accept, they will join your session and the two of you can privately text, use voice, and webcam to communicate with each other. Some things to note here are that you can add the user to your buddy list (favorites) to IM them quickly in the future, you can click the games button to play a selection of interactive games together, you can send a kiss or smack, or block the other user if they bother you. Mouse over all of the buttons for tips/help of what they do. Hint: this is a great way for a panty seller to show a buyer a preview of what they are offering, and a great way to provide cam sessions to buyers.
My Buddy List
Once you have saved at least one member to your buddy list (through the IM), you can use the buddy list function to IM them quickly in the future. That is, you won't need to scroll through the 10,000 Panty Hog members to IM them.
