There's an online service called Blue Jeans Network that lets you have a conference call with Skype, H.323, Google Talk, and Microsoft Lync participants.

yes there are some services like this. I tried Comfytel about a month ago: http://txlab.wordpress.com/2012/01/30/comfytel-com-one-more-...

the problem was, about 30% of calls didn't reach my skype client. I guess Comfytel uses one of those dirty hacks. Probably bluejeans too.

I used to work there, and they have a skypekit license. It doesn't use the "spawn a skype linux client and use the plugin interface" method, it's a direct integration.

hmm, thanks. It's probably a quite expensive license, as the default developer agreement is quite restrictive: http://www.mail-archive.com/asterisk-dev@lists.digium.com/ms...

any explanation why 30% of calls were dropped?
