Many to Many video chat would be AWESOME, but I don't think any of the current protocols support it. If I had the money to invest, I'd suggest we be the first to implement it, but from my understanding, this would require a mediating server to control video flow, and it would use LOTS of bandwidth.

With one button you can get rid of the list. To get the area where you type text you just hold onto a little three line image and move this up. The video does get a little smaller but keeps everything proper. Are we going to just do one on one or will this grow to include many to many?
