And, yes, Tyler and I have been talking about adding video. I'm not sure he's ready for that challenge, though. He did write inSSIDer 2.0, but video is a big monster. :)
Yes, but he is a wiz. You told me so. :)
No doubt. He amazes me every day. :)
uppppppppppppppp
Just out of curiousity, what's wrong with keying their logo or "via Skype" on the screen somewhere CNN style? That shouldn't be too hard for those of you using a Tricaster or other video switching software. If that's all they're asking for in exchange for using it for free...Quote:

I dont think there is anything wrong with having a "Via Skype" lower third. I actually think its a good idea to promote how your guests are coming in. With that said here is my question : Could this lead to licensing costs to use skype for non personal use
That's a good question. I could see that happening. On our show, I very seldom use it, so it probably wouldn't be worth the fee for us. And depending on how much it theoretically would cost, I would likely just hold my cell phone up to the mic. :D
If they do eventually charge for using it commercially, it all goes back to your original question of how would they know? Perhaps they'd embed some high frequency hum undetectable to the human ear that only their computers could pick up. Or they might lock the 'audio out' options somehow until you buy a code to enable them. Or the audio/video quality and/or frame rate is reduced to where it's pretty much unusable until you pay to get full quality. I'm going to shut up now, don't want to give Microsoft too many ideas.
That was my initial fear when I started the thread and it also looks by the responses it is a VERY RECENT requirement by Skype. Your question Andrew about costs is what I'd like to know too as it is owned by Microsoft now and that could change things down the road for sure. Being Audio only, the requirements aren't as stringent by requiring graphics on your video podcasts, Streaming networks and live shows etc taking up screen real estate. Maybe you could get them to sponsor for having their logo on screen, but that's probably stretching it a bet eh?Quote:
