Skype for Mac video tip

By My status Andrus on July 5, 2007 in Tips and tricks.

Did you know you can move self-image around in a video call? I did. (Simply click on the self-image in a video call and drag it wherever you want to). But I never realized you can make a meeting over Skype video look like you are present if the room is of a certain size - at least to yourself :)

If you press F9 (or whatever button you use for Exposé) you can even drag the little window out of the container. Notably Skype sometimes crash when you do this, and the timing must be perfect.

I'ld like to be able to resize my self-image because sometimes it's too big and I can't see the other person, and I don't always want to resize the window itself.
