Something like Teamspeak or Skype in SL... to allow you to use a Mic or such and be heard inside SL with your own voice...

Would be cool...

There are a few votes to that effect, should check:

.. I think, the website is wonky now, so I might be wrong. I'd give you the proposal ID if it was available.

I agree, v-chat in MMOs should be standard. It's also a cheap alternative to SHOUTcasting your music. :P

:) I know people that already use Ventrilo while in SL. Skype is definitely too much of a resource hog and it also hijacks your sound configuration... Ventrilo doesn't...plus it's very light.

There are so many issues with this idea I don't know where to begin, but they've all been discussed in previous threads on this topic.

It would be the end of Second Life for a lot of people who don't want to or can't use voice. If you want to use Skype (you know it's good because it rhymes with Hype), knock yourself out, but let's not integrate yet another laggy and discriminatory technology into SL.
