[QUOTE="amerigoV, post: 5381705"] You have some very good questions there - I look forward to other responses as well. I do not have a solution, but some thoughts that might help. For the players, they can shut down most of the other windows and just have chat open. Pretty much Chat and the Selected window if they use macros. They then resize the chat window to whatever is comfortable to them. As the GM, I wonder if you can pull the chat window to another screen if you happen to duel screen. I know you can do this with the "show handout". I have not tried it, but it might give you the Chat space you need to see better. I'll say this - you are better than the situation I occasionally find myself- everyone in the room but one player - they tend to get lost. All in the room or all remote is better. I am thinking of moving to Vent for voice. It naturally is push to talk (less background noise) and if someone disconnects they can get back on their own instead of having to fuss with Skype.
