Now that fast Internet connections are the norm, videoconferencing is hotter than ever. Why is it so popular? Apple’s decision to include a webcam on every portable Mac certainly helps, but so does the ease of use of applications like Skype. Lots of videoconferencing apps and solutions are available, but the one that seems to have really taken off is Skype. In this project, I show you how to use Skype for videoconferencing.
