Need some Skype help - or other ideas -

RGD. · 04-21-2011, 08:09 PM

My daughter is graduating from college with honors in a 2 weeks. My Mom will not be able to make the trip to see her oldest granddaughter graduate due some surgery/recovering and is extremely upset over it. This will be the first grandchild to graduate from college.

She has Skype and can use it. I'm not sure how to go about this. What we have to use are: Blackberry Storm II, Iphone 3 and an Android (not sure of the model). We also have an HDD cam - Panasonic SDR-S26 (has some little web button on it) and a netbook that I can connect to my Blackberry for internet access.

Some how, some way I'd like to be able to cast this over Skype so my Mom can see her graduate. Maybe it doesn't have to be Skype - maybe a feed to a website (I have access to several) - I don't know.

Keep in mind that I will be sitting amongst the other parents and family and am not sure of the setup at the moment - I do know that it will be indoors. I can get there early enough to get prime seating I would guess.

So - any help for the right direction is needed and appreciated.

Thanks,

Ron

I believe you could use the skype client for the iphone, I can't remember if it requires wifi or not.

Check with the school - most larger schools are running livecasts of graduations now-a-days.
