Welsey-
I recently ran across a really neat web based conferencing service called PalBee. There was a review of at http://www.thetechteacher.libsyn.com We have been testing and look forward to using it with our “home-bound” program.

No, Google Chat is just one to one videoconferencing at this point. iChat and ooVoo both support multiple folks in a video call, as does bridged H.323 videoconferencing.

Do you know if google chat allows for conferencing between more than two people?

That is great to hear, Steve. The fact that Skype is cross-platform is SO important. I’m eager to give it a try. Skype’s support of screensharing is actually a compelling reason to use it over Google Video Chat at this point, if a remote presenter wants to “drive their own slides” they are sharing.

I have already used the screensharing function of the new Skype beta for OS X and it works really well… full screen looks amazing.
