Can you recommend a quality video chat site?

Does anyone know of a good (and free!) site to do video chat. We want to do an eHerf with a few BOTL scattered around the country.

I'd like a site where I can have multiple webcams, maybe 4 or 5, and also have an area for text chat with possibly 20 people.

We're going to test run www.stickam.com tonight - but I've heard that has some connection issues.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Not without possibly getting banned, slapped, and divorced.

Stickem has been used before fo video Herfs.


Worked out pretty well once the bugs were figured out.



Let me know if this goes on!

Re: Can you recommend a quality video chat site?

I hear ya Tim,,,being able to E Herf is great but dealing with the "lag" of some sites makes it hard to keep a good conversation flowing. I know that Yahoo is great as it is like using digital when talking but I don't know what the capacity for more than two people at a time,,,,sounds like a great project to develop,,,any venture capitalists out there who'd like to hook a bunch of BOTL up and have some great times? Jon? Bueller?

I use that sometimes, yet someone let me know they shut it down do to their computer problems. There also are many cam seizes.
Someone else mentioned to not use skype, but I have never tried it.
