Yesterday I had the good fortune to connect with Stephen Francoeur via Skype. He and I spent a little time testing out the new screensharing options in the newest version of Skype. We had fun poking around with the new features, and I recorded some of what we saw. I used Camstudio to record my screen, so unfortunately you won’t hear Stephen on the other end. Next time I do this I might try to figure out a way to record the audio on the other end of the line.
