Written on March 5, 2007 – 2:10 pm | by vandai |

Using multiple instance, 3 way conference call with gTalk is possible. To do this, follow this step:

1. Right click on you gTalk shortcut icon, and choose properties.
2. At the end on the Target Line box, add /nomutex
3. Click OK to save the change.

Now you can open multiple instance of gTalk. This is useful for
conferencing call. Remember, each person on the conference call need to
open 2 instance of gTalk.

Ok, this is the scenario to open the conference call.
1. Have all the caller to open 2 instance of gTalk.
2. User A makes a call from his 1st gTalk instance to User B.
3. User B accept call from User A with his 2nd gTalk instance.
4. User B makes a call from his 1st gTalk instance to User C.
5. Like User B, User C is connecting to User B with his 2nd gTalk instance.
6. And so, User C makes a call to User A with his 1st gTalk instance.
7. User A automatically accept call from User C with his 2nd gTalk instance.

The reason why this way happens is Google will try to connect to the newest opened instance.
You can also make more then 3 way conferencing call with this trick.
