GameFace Live Features
Besides a brand new variable user interface design, GameFace Live integrates more practical utilities into
one powerful net meeting-like network application to provide users more fun while playing games.
Multi-user audio/video communication
Multi-user connection
Some software only supports a one-to-one connection, which is not enough for most network games. Game-
players will enjoy more when using GameFace Live’s multi-connection.
ASUS GameFace Live supports up to 8 users to communicate video and audio with each other while playing
games. Besides voice conversations in games, you can also see their faces as well. Henceforth game-playing
would also allow you to interact with people.
Connection is possible even without knowing the server’s address because GameFace Live will automatically
search all available servers in your LAN.
Dynamically join or leave
GameFace Live also enables users to join or leave a group dynamically without breaking the group's connection
(a group means one server and several clients connected with each other). A client can connect to a server at
any time only if the total client number is not over the server's max-user quota. However, to join or leave
dynamically won't work after the server is closed. Refer to Network Mode for more information about multi-
user communications.
Pause and disable video functions
Disable video
You can check the "no video" item in the Server Mode before activating a server (refer to Server Mode).
Then your communications will have audio without video. Only the server site can make this decision for all
clients.
Pause
Once the network connection is built, other members in the group can hear and see you until the connection
is broken. If you want to "hide" for a while, you can "pause" the audio and video and resume again later.
Refer to Network Mode for more information.
Sound detection
If you do not like so many video windows to occupy your screen all the time, then you can enable sound
detection to automatically show or hide video windows when in use or not in use. The advantage of this
feature is that video windows will not occupy your screen area all the time, especially useful if you have
eight members connected. Once sound detection function is enabled, you will not see any video windows at
