    Huh?
    Doesn't Skype limit calls to 5 people?

    It limits video users to 5 if you don't pay, but voice is unrestricted AFAIK.

    I was looking up as I was walking home and just realized how... huge everything is, everything but us, we're so small. But yet... I could almost feel it, the spark of life, the thread of fate, a bit of electric sizzle in the stars. I was reminded of death, and thereby of life. I felt alive. I think maybe, if I can just feel that for a moment every now and then, anything else that happens to me is O.K.

    I have group video, so we should be able to have video calls with up to 31 people.

    Try googling me. You'll find out everything you never wanted to know about me and then some.

    Nope, it limits video to a single call with two people if you don't pay.

    Found another program, Teamviewer. Runs on Windows, Linux (Through its own custom wine), and Mac.

    It allows you to setup a voice conferencing meeting. (P2P like skype I think so no big performance benefit)

    I love skype as much as the next guy, but maybe it's not completely ideal for this situation. Has anyone considered making a tinychat room instead? It offers chat, voice, and web cam. It runs in the browser, so anyone can access it without extra software needed. It allows for multiple moderators. It's always there and running, whether or not someone is online. And, for a small cost, it can be password protected (though I hardly see the need). Is there any reason in particular that skype might trump tinychat?

    I am just sad because I have a super slow computer and network connection that can't handle multiple Skype P2P audio streams simultaneously.
