Is it easy to do conference calling on Skype?
If so, how do I set up Skype conference calls? What do all the call members have to do to participate? Is it difficult to learn? Maybe I should distribute a Quick Conference Call Set-Up leaflet to all? Is there a website that will be helpful?

Hello @Horton, conference calling on Skype is easy to do. All you need to do is follow some simple steps and you are ready to go. The first step is to create a group. If you already know the people you plan to have a conference call with, just go to the ‘’Contacts’’ menu and choose ‘’ Create New Groups’’.
When you do this An "Empty Group" will open up with a blank IM window and a space at the top for you to drag and drop the Contacts you want in the conference call. Once you have added all the people you want, click on ‘’save group’’ and name the group.
So when you are ready to start your conference call, just open ‘’contacts’’ and click on the group. This would call everyone in that group and open up a conference call.
Another method is to start a conference call while you are on a call. This is also easy to do. If you are on a call with a friend and want other friends to join in the conversation, simply click on the ‘’add’’ button that you would find at the upper part of the page. When you do this you can add as much people as you want.
Be aware that you cannot add more than 24 people to a Skype conference call.
