60 million users now have the opportunity to clog the Skype P2P system with video chat, which should be interesting. I’ve been playing with the beta (click thumbnail) and it’s just about OK, although from first viewing it’s clear that the video is inferior to that of the latest MSM Messenger.
What’s more, the frame rate is very slow, it’s not as clear and full screen mode doesn’t seem to be as forgiving. In fact, on a test call to the US I had to switch off the video completey because it was making the audio break up too badly. OK, so it’s beta, but let’s hope they can get things sorted out quickly.
