Skype - Videoconferencing - NYE 2008: Can we make this happen, or is the point moot?

blueerica · 12-26-2008, 11:15 AM

What little research I've done points to 'there's no such thing'. But is there? Is there a work-around? Help?

I'd like to be able to have something set up for NYE 2008, for those of us unable to attend the big bash... *crossing fingers*

Well, since Skype only allows video if you have just one person Skyping in, I think we'll need multiple computers to make it work. Not that that's all that hard to deal with.

I've got an easier solution: come to the party!

We could broadcast on a site like http://stickam.com

Or you could show up to the party...

Here's a start: how many people are hoping/planning to Skype in?

I have a laptop with cam that I could bring if need be.

Morrigoon · 12-26-2008, 04:44 PM

As do I
