Hi all, I am running Freebsd 10.2 amd64 on a desktop, and I would need to use either Skype or Google Hangout for work. By perusing the web and the mail lists, it seems that neither Hangout nor Skype work anymore on FreeBSD. So, I installed Windows 7 in VirtualBox to get around this, only to find out that in VirtualBox *USB* doesn't work on FreeBSD hosts (and I have a USB webcam, which works in FreeBSD, as tested via pwcview). Does anybody know of a solution short of dual-booting to Windows? I am pretty positive that asking all colleagues to install uTox, ekiga, etc. on their various systems is not going to be a successful strategy. Thanks in advance for any suggestion giuseppe
