Hello everyone, my first post here, hope you'll help me..

So, the questions is quite simple, yet tricky to implement.

- Is there a possibility to connect one microphone to two separate laptops and talk through it to two different communication applications like Skype and Facebook for example?

- Also, is there a posibility to make these two communication apps hear each other by connecting two separate laptops through an audio cable of some sort?

The thing is: I want to make FB conference and Skype conference to merge into one big conference, make them hear each other. Also I want to talk to them using one microphone. Is that possible?

Any help would be appreciated. Note that Skype and FB are only examples.
 
This might do the trick, or some software like it. Disclaimer, I've not used this before.

Yeah, you might be able to do it via Virtual XLR stuff.

Alternatively, if you have a relatively high end sound card like my Tascam 4x4, I believe you can split the output of the mic to 4 sources. There is a new version of this sound card with a DSP capable of quite some nifty tricks.
 
Why not just use the devices built in microphone?

Ye, but how do you merge two apps into one bigger conference? How do would you transfer the sound from one app to another (pc to another pc) without the feedback
 
I use a Soundcraft Signature 12 mixing board. You can route the output signal paths using the main and auxiliary outs (plus adjust them independently) to devices of your choice. I use the Soundcraft because it's what I also use for my band PA. Any mixer with an aux section will work, you can find them cheap used. I sold my Mackie fx16 to a friend who uses it for his live call-in radio show. A mixer is the only real way to do it correctly.

Did you even look at the link I provided above?
They have video tutorials... Don't be this lazy.
