The Fix - Group video chat made easy

2014-06-17
number one video Chiapas thing we only saw in sci-fi movies well maybe I'm the only one old enough to actually remember that but thankfully it's not a fantasy it's real and now we can video chat with multiple people completely free of charge first probably the best way to get a group chat session going is they use a service like Skype now you will need either a PC a Mac or an Xbox one to get into a group chat just make sure you have the latest version of Skype installed will show you how to do this on both a PC and a Mac open Skype and sign in on a Mac select File then a new conversation then start typing the names of the contacts you want to add to the call and then click on each one when you're ready to start a video call click the arrow next to the call button and choose a video as participant to answer the call they'll be added to the group chat on skype gonna have three to ten people in a group chat tap more members just click the plus button and add new names as you did before however for performance sake it's best not to go over five if using a PC once you're signed in just select the create a group icon from the contact list just drag the contacts you'd like to add to the group conversation into the highlighted area then click video call just reminder you can't use your smart phone if you want to get into a group chat on skype at least not right now if you do want to use your smart phone to get into a group chat you can use Google Hangouts however that requires a Google account now on Google Plus start a new hangout click on the names you want to add and then click the video icon now you can add up to nine names to start your group video chat session however for performance sake it's best not to max it up on your Android phone tap the plus button add the names to start a session then tap the video icon there are other free apps that allow you to do group conferencing but these two are not only the easiest to get up and running with but because of the popularity of Skype and Gmail they're probably the ones your friends and colleagues will most likely already have a count sport group chat is a great way to communicate with your friends conduct interviews and catch up with your relatives now did you know how to use it you have no excuse have your mom watch this video and then start calling her every week
