Sethos Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Can anyone tell me if I'm able to host more than 5 Man Conference calls with Skype? Read something once, if you had Duel Core Processors you could host 10 Man calls is this true? Perhaps another application able to host more than 5 people.

Read something once, if you had Duel Core Processors you could host 10 Man calls is this true? Perhaps another application able to host more than 5 people. In 3.0 limit was raised to 10 for all CPUs, so 10 participants in conference call for all.

rado354 Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 (edited) I tested it, it's pretty good. Not taking more resources than 2.5 while providing some new features. Addon for those who integrate it into their Windows installation CD (and our guide HowTo Do It ;)) Edited November 8, 2006 by rado354 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/510420-skype-30-beta/#findComment-588028473 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyber Dog Posted November 10, 2006 Share Posted November 10, 2006 Skype is overall a great app, but I hate the bubbly interface. I mean it's just...fat. You can't shrink the stupid thing to a decently small size. Yes, it's an aesthetic complaint, but for some reason the Skype GUI has always bugged me this way.
