Is anyone else concerned by that pic. It looks like the guy is undressing in front of a kid and a granny.

how well does it go for you when you have 5+ people all trying to talk at once?]]>May 14th 2010 12:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/May 14th 2010 12:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/I was on the board of a club that had regular teleconferences with about 6 of us scattered around the US. We took turns speaking. The hardest part was telling who was speaking by their voice (not a problem with video).

With 5+ videoconferencing, this thing could really be great for business meetings (for businesses that can't afford enterprise videoconferencing equipment).]]>May 14th 2010 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/May 14th 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/4 ;-)]]>May 14th 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/

Well, then you don't like Technology.

PS. Obviously iChat AV looks way more slick. Obligatory eye candy ;)]]>May 14th 2010 12:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/

Yeah, I was gonna make a snide remark about why Dad is stripping in front of Grandma and his son.

I actually thought that he was taking off his tie, considering it's already in a knot and the hotel room is dark. Seems like the end of the day, and it's daytime for Gramms and son.

Let's just say, I'm pretty good at those "What's different between these two similarly looking pictures" games. :)]]>May 14th 2010 1:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/14/skypes-group-video-calling-beta-now-available-for-windows/

That's only my feeling, though. Family has always trouble using their computers.

I know iChat AV has it , but unluckly not everyone is on a Mac. Skype is multi-platform, which is very handy on the family side of things, AND on the business side of things.
