Compatibility test forms the foundation of matchmaking process. To test compatibility, the individuals involved usually have to take time out of the office, plan and schedule travel, bear unwanted, yet unavoidable expenses, disrupt their normal routine life and end-up with the burden of stress. The impact is even more massive when the test result is negative. To do away with this tedious procedure, the advent of online dating was viewed as a boon, but sight gives more pleasure to humans. With this point the relevance of a video conference episode is revealed. During a video conference, the audio and video are integrated into a live online dating experience, which gives the entire process, an enhanced security, validity and cost effectiveness.

For a video conference, the basic requirements are:
1. An Athlon 1600 or PIV 1500 or faster PC computer with a minimum of 256 MB of RAM (Random Access Memory) and 32 MB of video memory. Sound card and graphics board with 3D accelerations should be well in place. The 17'' or bigger monitor will enhance the effectiveness of the video conference session.
2. Windows 98 second edition or Windows 2000 workstation or server edition are the best operating system for video conference. Windows XP takes many resources of the system for nothing, hence they should be avoided.
3. A fast internet connection is another essential requirement. Wire-Cable, Radio, or ADSL are commonly used. However, the choice will depend up on the country and the area in that country. Accessing Internet with dial-up connections is useless for webcam chat. It only results in wastage of time and wastage of hard earned money.
4. The essence of an engrossing video conference is embedded in the efficiency of the webcam. LogiTech QuickCam, Creative Labs Web Live Pro, MaCally Icecam USB Video Camera are some popular and dependable webcams.

The video conference way of the matchmaking endeavor begins with the creation of a profile. All relevant information should be presented in such a manner that the profile would arouse curiosity and interest, like a juicy and sexy e-mail address is better than a plain-Jane like e-mail address. For a fruitful video conference, positive attitude and a deep sense of self-esteem should be maintained. An artificial expression and mannerism will bog down the person on the other side and will simply ruin the entire session. Too much information should not be revealed at the rapid speed during the video conference. A mask of mystery and secrecy should be put on during the session, this will keep the interest alive. Eye contact, one of the most important things in the art of seduction, should be maintained because by looking directly into the eyes certain personality traits may be revealed. At Webcam chat, try to catch the other partner's body language signals, for example if she/he strokes the hair all the time, if she/he leans forward, or if she/he smiles often. These signals are the potential sources of information.

With these tools in hand and tips in mind, seek for the webcam chat rooms and enjoy your videoconference session.
