What does the brand new Skype 5.0 Beta for Mac look like? How drastically did Skype redesign the user interface (UI)? How well does Group Video work for multi-party video calls?

In this episode host Dan York gets together with Phil Wolff of Skype Journal and Jim Courtney of VoiceOnTheWeb to demonstrate Skype’s new Skype 5.0 Beta for MacOS X, released today and available for free download.

Earlier today, Dan published two blog posts walking through the new user interface and then giving a first look at the group video feature. This ETT video now shows the full effect of how it all works.
