Skype finally has multi-user video chat (kinda)!

For those of you not in the know:

Skype's current beta allows for up to a 4-way video chat.

This feature is currently windows only (Mac users, shut up! You already have iChat).  You'll also need a somewhat substantial internet pipe for this to work well, as well as a pseudo-hefty cpu to decode multiple video streams (intel atom need not apply).

You just want to do more fursuit skype chats with people, we know the truth.

PS. You're guilty.

See, the problem with that is:

1.) everyone that I call would need to be on the beta version for that to work.

2.) FedEx is currently molesting my suits, so I don't have anything to fursuit call in.

tinychat works pretty good too.

Interesting, but skype seems to be the only thing supporting the "high quality webcam" gimmick right now.

Though it is interesting, its using flash to drive the interface. I cant imagine it working very well with more than a few people. How many have you gotten using it?

a couple, only when i feel like conferencing
