Take a video chat snapshot and share it with your friends!

You can now take a snapshot during your round, save them and send them to your friends!
Now that you’ve had the chance to round a bit and enjoy the video experience, I’m sure there have been times that the person you’ve chatted with has made a funny face while using one of the cool effects. I’m even sure that at that moment you thought to yourself, wow I wish I could have captured that moment and shared it with my friends. Well now, thanks to our new handy snapshot feature you can do just that. During any round or one-on-one you can take a snapshot and savor your precious moments and even share them with your friends.
I’m assuming your next question is, but what if someone took a not so flattering snapshot and you don’t want it shared? Well don’t worry; both you and the person you’re rounding with must approve the snapshot, avoiding the chance of any embarrassing pictures of you being posted online. You can see below and example of how it looks like once you’ve taken a snapshot:
So where can you share your great snapshots? Upon approving them, you’ll get the option to post your snapshot on any of your favorite social networks including facebook, myspace, twitter, flickr and many many more (just see below).
For those of you who are using our Google Wave extension you will be able to enjoy the same sharing features very soon and you’ll even be able to share your snapshot with the other members of your wave.
So what are you waiting for? Start snapping your memorable moments during your rounds and share them with your friends, let them share the fun!
If you have created any cool snapshots that you’d like to share, feel free to post the link to them below or just send me the link to natasha at 6rounds dot com.
I’ll be really happy to see them

Hi Marc,
Thanks for the feedback, it is much appreciated.
You can try recording the video chat using screenr.com, we found it quite good.
You can mute participants in the settings window, that appears in the header, right above your webcam view.
With regards to showing your desktop, that’s indeed something we are aiming to add in the future, as well as many other great features
Hope this helps.
See you around,
Steven

I like the snapshot idea. Is there any way to record the entire video chat (without using another program such as Camtasia)? Also, will there be a way to mute all the other participants so they can only view what I am doing? One more thing; is there an option to show my desktop to the viewers (so they could see exactly what I’m clicking on?
These features would really come in handy for teachers and people that do teleseminars. Please let me know. Thanks
