In 3.8 you can open the call menu and create a conference. You will be given
your contact list from which you can check the persons you wish in the
conference then click add.

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] questions about conference
I didn't answer this question because I didn't know the answer, but
this discussion helped me think of an answer. I have tested the
following procedure in Skype 5.0 beta 2 myself.
Step 1: Go to the Contacts menu and use Create New Group. At least in
Skype 5.0 beta 2, nothing obvious to a JAWS user will happen, but an
empty group will appear on screen. It will not be added to your
contact list though.
Step 2, optional: If you will want this to be a permanent group, tab
to the button for adding it to your contact list, and press Space or
Enter. You will be asked to name the group. Do so by editing the box
you land in, then press Enter again. This step is optional and does
not affect the rest of the process below. You can do this later as
well if you like.
Step 3: Go to the Call menu and select Add People. You will land in
a list of all your contacts, in alphabetical order regardless of
online status.
Step 4: For each contact you want to add, arrow to it and press
Enter. The contact will disappear from the list and will appear in
another list that you can reach by tabbing a few times. If you need
to remove a contact from the list, tab to this second list and press
Enter on the contact. That will move it back to the first list.
Step 5: When you're happy with the contacts in the second list, tab to
the Add button and press Space. Regardless of whether you added the
group to your Contact list while ago, the group will now appear in
your Conversations list and will already be selected.
Step 6: To call everyone in the group, tab to "Call Group" and press
Space. The quickest way to get to the "Call Group" button is probably
to press Enter on the Conversations list entry for the group, which
puts you in its chat edit box, then tab a couple of times.
Hope this helps.

I think that you have not recieved a reply because no one is sure as
to how to go about accomplishing this. The new Skype 5.0 beta 2
advertises adding up to 9 in a conference call. I do not know if it is
possible or not but maybe, I am fairly new to Skype but here is my
line of thinking. If someone has similar contacts on their Skype then
maybe you could call your 9 including the person that has the other
contact members . the person then that has the other members to
contact may be able to add the rest of the contacts through their
Skype account. That would then give you the number of contacts you
need in your Skype conference call. Now the fact that the group was
started by you may prevent this I do not know.

Subject: [Skypeenglish] questions about conference
I have written to the list a couple of times, but having no
response. Am I writing to the wrong list, or am I just not part of
the crew?
I wanted to know how to conference approximately 12 persons in
version 3.8. Can I connect all the persons from my computer? Or, is
there a limit?
