Yeah, it actually worked pretty well!
There were some opening glitches when I tried to add everyone at once, but then I went back to one person and added new people one or two at a time and we got up to 9 or 10 people at once (maximum of 8 broadcasting video, I think). We could have gone higher I think if more people had been ready to join.
Great test, thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to this stuff moving out of beta.
It would be nice if vSkype could support a full contact list being passed to it via a file, so that we could create some way of easily starting a video conference from within Moodle.
Hello All!
Couple of questions.
- Whose computer acted as the "server" for this discussion. It is my understanding that with vSkype one of the computer actually acts like a server for the other connections.
- Is this correct?
- If It is correct, did the person with the "server" computer have any unforeseen or special problems?
- Was the group able to use the whiteboard without any problems? [PowerPoint / Drawing?]
Thanks in advance for any and all responses.

Does VSkype have a whiteboard? 
I know it can do window/application sharing but I didn't see a whiteboard. I am playing again tonight so will look at it then.
I would be interested in the up/down internet speed of whoever was the server.

Martin was the server. You couldn't get into the chat unless he invited you. He was running the screen capture function showing his browser.
Actually, I believe we were running peer-to-peer, but I can't be sure as there is not much documentation about how it works. I know it runs over the normal Skype "channel" (but it doesn't use Skype audio). Most of my bandwidth seemed to be going to one site so perhaps vskype.com was serving us all. Something to look more into sometime.
vSkype doesn't have a whiteboard, but you can share your screen or any window. This feature worked very well.

Hello
If you are looking for a whiteboard with audio and more...

Import from Moodle 
through this function do you mean MD ?
its all gobbledegook to me, but the clever guys here would perhaps know how to construct a .vif file to import , from looking at an export . (here is a part of one export )
