    What's the difference between those 2 on Skype? They both don't work to call but what's the difference between that?

    No answer means everything went okay as far as Skype is concerned. It was able to communicate with the remote number, and they didn't answer.

    Call Failed means that something went wrong on the backend, and that the communication to the other number failed. The other number may never have actually received the request, or your system may never have detected a successful connection.

    Is it possible to use video on a group call in skype?

    I have the video working great for regular calling but it seems like the video just disapears when I try to start a group call.

    no, Skype does not support video conferencing.

    have a look a ooVoo (but it ain't free for calls to 3 or more participants).

    Skype is working on Group Video. Have a look at the 5.0 Beta.

    Skype golden version 5.x is released, you can download from skype official site.

    Skype disables it for some odd reason. Linux allows several skype instances. I think you can open two skypes and call one-to-one with each skype instance. However, I'm not sure if the webcam driver let's two applications read the camera at the same time.

    Watch out for ooVoo! Just a few hours after installing it, I had several viruses and had to reinstall Windows. The exact same thing happened to about three other people that I know.
