make multiple video calls on Skype
Skype, which emerged in 2003, gives users a way to call friends and associates around the world through the Internet. Skype offers free calling (including long distance) between users of the program, and inexpensive long-distance calls to the land lines or cell phones of non-users of Skype. It also integrates video calling and conferencing. Callers can use Skype to hold multiple video calls at one time.
