Social P2P Video Conferencing
Skype's video conferencing tools are aimed squarely at friends, family and lovers.
- Free to use and cheap to set up.
- Set it up in a minute and use spontaneously.
- Easy to use.
- Make free conference calls over the Internet.
Limitations
It's not for business users, groups or family gatherings:- It's strictly a "one 2 one" solution. No more than 2 participants.
- PowerPoint presentations and on-screen documents cannot be displayed.
- Image resolution prevents projection onto a larger screen.
- Calls cannot be recorded for later viewing.
Alternatives
For those requiring a fully featured video conferencing solution capable of supporting up to 10 participants at a budget price, check out Paltalk. It covers all the bases. Both a social networking solution and a business tool.
Conclusion
It's surprising that Skype did not move more quickly to grab the multi-participant video conferencing market. On the other hand video conferencing is a free Skype feature and the quality of video presentation gets better with each release of Skype.
