I am a part of a couple FB groups that want to Skype sometime and I've finally taken the plunge but that site is so confusing to me. I know someone around this place has to have some knowledge of Skype. Please help?

With the free version, you can chat with or call (with or without video) other Skype users. You can also purchase some kind of Skype credits to call people directly on their phone.

Meh, Calling is free Group calling is free Video call is free Group video is not free. but a skypegroup for N64forever would be fun though =D
