Peter Csathy, the CEO of SightSpeed, posted this picture on his blog today along with the following message: "While others don't even have multi-party video chat, we decided to up the ante to 9. And, we ain't done yet."
So what do the folks at SightSpeed have in mind? They did also launch their SightSpeed Light widget on hi5 as well, but I'm sure it's more than that. Maybe some better firewall traversal than bog-standard SIP provides? Maybe video quality that approaches Skype's high-quality offering?
But back to the question of 9 users at once. I have to imagine that, like with a four-way call on SightSpeed, a nine-way call goes through a central server at SightSpeed. I also have to imagine that managing that many video callers at once becomes somewhat challenging. It also could very well be distracting to see all those faces at once.
In any case, I'm looking forward to trying it out for myself. Question is: do I know 8 other people willing to try this at the same time?

I think it’s possible to use video conference with 9 people but you need to pay because most of the free video conference services only allowed for 6 people to conference.
Its easy to communicate with multiple users a once with video chat , this is just because of video conferencing .
Its a remarkable technology with great cost effective results.
Conferencing software is the latest in global communication. The costs to any company can be cut dramatically in using this kind of tool. I use conferencing software and it has changed the way I do business online. I highly recommend this as a major step forward with any business, large or small.
