What's the best way to video chat with someone?

[Linus]

Tomorrow I have a video chat appointment with somebody, but I don't know which medium to use. Skype, AIM, maybe some sort of web client? It's gonna have to be around two hours long, so whatever it is has to have a solid connection for at least that long. Suggestions?

Skype works best for me, but it tends to get choppy after about the hour mark. Sometimes I miss out on what they’re saying so I just nod and smile (like irl)

First thing I thought of.

I'm sorry guys, I thought nudity was implied. My bad.

Skype has never really worked great for me. I would use iChat on my Macbook, but the damn thing is prone to overheating after about 10-15 minutes of video chat.

I used it for a web conference a few times, never went out of sync, works great on every connection I've used it on, and the delay is incredibly minimal. It's not all that popular, but it's the best I've used. :)

No one looks good with crappy lights accenting your flaws and hiding your qualities

I've always just used AIM or MSN depending on the medium with which I'd normally speak to the person I am chatting up.

I guess if you squinted your eyes, were drunk, and trying to skin a live bull with a pocketknife.

Oh man, if that does look like me, maybe I can go strawberry blonde! I think I'm too yellow and Italian for it though. :(

Skype works wonders for me. I had a bit of problems with it sometimes when Skyping to Hux, but when I skype with my parents across the atlantic, I think I had one freeze up ever, and we usually skype for an hour at a time.

Hands-free.

Like a lotta people have said; Skypeywipey. My vid always freezes though =_= reckon that's just my cam being stupid though.

Have fun x)

i love how in that vzwhatever chat, it's one guy with 3 girls. Must be their pimp :D

I also like the convenient REC button, which Skype (or at least my version) lacks.

I ended up using AIM's video chat, and it worked very well! No lag, goodish quality, no hiccups over 2 hours and 15 minutes. A+.
