Can You Video Call a Conference Call in Skype?
Skype has audio, video and chat capabilities via a software download. It is used both for business and personal use.
Audio Call
Skype offers the ability to make audio calls using voice over IP or VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). You can call anyone with a Skype ID for free.
Video Call
You also have the option to make video calls as long as you have a webcam either integrated, such as with a laptop, or via USB. The Skype settings can be modified to always answer with video or to use video at your command only.
Chat
Skype also has a chat function that can serve as your instant-messaging client as well. This service is also free.
Conferencing
As of January 2010, Skype's audio conferencing capability allows for up to three people. Video conferencing is available for one-to-one conference calls only. Therefore, you cannot video call a conference call in Skype.
Accessories
A headset is very useful when using Skype for both audio and video conference calls. While a webcam does include a microphone, the sound quality tends to be clearer using a headset.
