Skype is great for 2-way video conferencing, but for my work I need to be able to patch in more than two people to the video conference.
Is it possible to hook up three or more people into a Skype conference?
Or should I look to something else instead which would be as reliable and of high quality?
Actually Skype themselves have now come up with a multi-user (up to 9) video conf. Tested it last week and it looks fine. At this writing it's in Beta, with a "free trial", though I can't see how they can charge for it while it's still in Beta...
It's a web app so no software to install. It includes a chatroom feature and offers you option to record the conference. I find it pretty cool.
We've used WebEx at work with good results in the past. Supports both video conferencing as well as desktop sharing between clients. People can even dial in to a conference over the phone if they don't have a microphone.
Since you've said this is work-related, the cost at $49/month may not be too bad.
Where this is an older question... newer advancements have been made in this arena. Google Plus now offers "Hangouts" where you can invite a group of people to a video-conference enabled chat session and interact freely over the web. It's free... and it works quite well.
