"There's a lot more to Skype than just making audio calls. We're going to show you today how to make a video call through Skype. Skype is one of the leaders in the Internet-based phone call revolution that's going on, and...but more than just making audio calls, you can make video calls just as easily.

Press the green button -- the green call button -- and we're connecting with that account. That's how you would hang up -- with that red button. And here are your options. So we're connected. We see the timer's going, and there's the webcam image from their side in living color. Now, if we had a webcam on this side, we'd press that button. That would enable our own webcam, and so we could have a two-way conversation. Again, that's where you would hang up. This is...would make your video image fullscreen. Of course, we only recommend that for high-speed connections. And you can see you have more options under the more button. We're going to go ahead and hang up on this call."
