That is going to get annoying over time.
I have noticed the ads already in Skype for this. I do know that if you do full screen video they don't overlay on the screen so that is OK for me. Now that I say this, tomorrow they will make it overlay on the video. Sigh.
This really sucks. Alternatives to Skype, anyone?
Google Hangouts or google talk would really be the best option. Based on what I have read if you buy Skype credits then you wont get ads.
This is interesting. I wonder what happens when we pay for Group Video, but the people connecting to us are not paying !!!Quote:

Yea this wont effect most internet broadcasters.
I hear to stop seeing the ads just put a small amount of money in as Skype credit.
Yup that also works
