Group meetings via computer?

You've probably tried Skype to "video chat" with someone.

  • It's free for one-to-one chatting.
  • Both parties need to download and install Skype.
  • Both parties need to "friend" each other and know each others Skype name.
  • Some (very old) computers cannot run the current version of Skype.
  • To have a group get together via video-call requires that one person have a paid premium account.

Has anyone tried "Meetings.io"?
