If I have a webcam set up, can I dial up more than one guy at the same time? In other words, can it "talk" to a number of Skype users at the same time, kind of like a conference call?

Yes, you can do it, but I think it might be a "paid" service. I don't use a webcam - I use it for Skype calls and for long distance calls to North America (unlimited for a yearly fee).
I am just rebuilding my laptop and I'll need to re-install Skype so I can double check in a little while...
I have to set up skype for myself and my family for when i move down south so i would love to be able to have them all on at christmas or other holidays. I'll be checking back to this post for sure to see the awnser!

Ok, thanks.
The reason I ask is a week or so from now when I will likely be monitoring our sewer pump using Skype, I will likely get a couple of people who sit at a computer all day to help me monitor if there is a way to do it.

a faster way to vidchat is Stickam, but you can conference in people using Skype too. A group I play web battles with uses a Skype chatroom in text mode for coordinating the battles
Finished installing and I was right, the multiple view video conferencing is an optional, pay-service. The free version includes only one-on-one video conferencing.
Skype has a free 7 day trial, or you can get a Day Pass for $4.99, or buy a monthly subscription for $8.99.
Any chance you could stream the video to Skype to one person and use another video conferencing utility to a second?
There might also be some free web-cam hosting sites?
What might be worth a try is to set up a video conference with someone in Skype - where they see your video but they are not running a camera - then bring in a second person with the same set up. All 3 would see the same video, but there's technically no 3 way video conference...
Like I say, I don't use the camera so I'm guessing... Good luck!
