Skype versus Google hangout - which is better for video chat?

Skype is better for one-on-one conversations. It has many more features and plug-ins, which GTalk doesn't have. For group video chat, you have to get the paid version of Skype. Both have their purposes. I can't say one if better than the other. There's nothing stopping you from using both considering that both are popular.

I like Google hangout. Plus they do fun things like mustaches during Movember and reindeer antlers for Christmas. It's the little things, people!!

Definitely Google hangout. You can have up to 8 people in a chat (much better bandwidth), and the video chat rotates based on who is talking. I use it for everything from conference calls to fantasy sports draft days.

Will check out Google hangout. Have been using Oovoo - very similar to Skype but doesn't seem to have as many ads or strangers reaching out to connect.
