Hi, there! Here's Rosana from Skype blog Brasil. I'm really anxious to see these great improvementes in skypecasts! I held a skypecast yesterday with 49 people in audio, 100 people in a chat, at the same time and I really could have used those features...ehehe.
Keep up the good work!
love,
Rosana

I request that a link be added on how to include a text chat in the Skypecast. It would be helpful to have a text chat window as part of the Skypecast. And perhaps an unmoderated, "new user gets the mic" option like in Paltalk.com's rooms. Thanks.

I have a friend in Adelaide, Australia who is trying to joing a skypecast but when he goes to the https://skypecasts.skype.com site he gets https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/settings/changeTimezone.html?message=talks_timezone_detection_failed

I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

hi skype hi

I am a Mac Skype user.... Any plans for when these controls will make it into the Mac version? I am very anxious to host Skypecasts for several different projects of mine. As I and many people I want to invite are Mac users, though, that won't be feasible until you work this interface into the Mac version.

The new controls look like a nice addition, but I'm curious if you plan on the addition of closed or password-protected Skypecasts? I think they'd be a great communication tool for my company and clients, but I don't like the idea of just anyone being able to join.
