(CU-SeeMe, 1994) 📡📺

Screenshot of the early video-conferencing program CU-SeeMe running on a classic System 7 desktop from the mid-1990s. The grey Macintosh desktop shows nine small video windows arranged in a grid, each displaying black-and-white television-like static instead of clear images. Beneath each window are tiny control icons for camera, audio, and connection status, along with technical readouts such as frame rate (for example “3.9 fps”) and very low data speeds like “36 Kbps,” reflecting the slow internet connections of the time. On the left side, a small control panel with sliders and checkboxes labeled “Send,” “Rec,” and “Lurkers” is open. The background desktop contains scattered classic Mac icons for files and folders, including items like “Documents,” “Mac Aerobics,” and the Trash can in the lower corner. The interface is monochrome and pixelated, typical of early 1990s computer software and the experimental era of internet video communication.

its wild to see this interface, CU-SeeMe was the first video or audio chatting experience I had, not sure exactly what year it was but we got it set up on our home office mac with a logitec firewire webcam. cc @memexikon
