Does anyone know if it is possible to have skype go fullscreen automatically when you receive a call? Or even better; a fullscreen interface that is constantly "on"...? Been thinking about having a PC just for that use... Skype will of course do fullscreen, and a nifty little detail: it will pop up any chat messages over the fullscreen video as well…

You lose the ability to text message but you didn't care about that. You will get a PIP of yourself so at least you can still see what image you are broadcasting. MSN Messenger will go full screen.

You might investigate if they released something since then, but doesn’t sound promising: <em>“A PC version will likely be delayed until the release of Longhorn”</em>.</p> Something like this ?

I made reference to FaceTop in the earlier linked post; that’s the sort of principle I want, but FaceTop is all about doing collaboration on documents and so on rather than just talking and being able to see one another. Plus, as you say, no actual release yet…</p> Michele: sort of.

NetMeeting’s pretty good in concept (although the UI’s not great), and I don’t understand why MS abandoned it. You have to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdk-full.htm">download the Platform <span class="caps">SDK</span></a> (link to the download page which works without IE) to do this, and it’s 342MB, which is rather a lot. I might look at doing this; if you really can change the NetMeeting UI then it would be possible to build my black-screen idea without much work at all.</p> Interestingly, it looks like it’s possible to build your own UI for NetMeeting.
