I hope this is okay to post here. You all give some of the best advice anywhere on the Internet, so if you have any suggestions or feedback, I would appreciate it.

I have to set up a group video call (not a conference call) with 4 or 5 people calling the same computer using a wi-fi connection. They don't need to talk to each other as much as they need to see and hear the meeting and the speaker(s) need to see (and maybe hear) them.

The only solution I can find so far is Skype. Has anyone used Skype's group video calling feature or know of a better solution?

Thank you.

The only other one I could thing of is called "oovoo," but I don't know if it has a conference call mode or not.

Skype is good i've had it since the beta. It's not as good as it used to be but its still the most well known and best in that regard.

Skype video conferencing with 3+ people is a paid service.

Oovoo can do 3 or more and I believe it has a free version.

GotoWebinar may let you use a free trial of their service and I conducted video conferences with 200+ people on that for years.

Thank you blindmag and athreehourbore. I will be giving the options a test run this weekend so I'm only partially flying-by-the-seat-of-my-pants next week.

BTW, athreehourbore, your name makes me laugh every time I read it. I think I watched too much 70's TV as a kid, so I love the "Gilligan's Island" shout out to the Sunday-meetings block.
