Skype is a free, downloadable application that allows you to video and voice call other Skype users over the Internet. Voice and video calling is free between Skype users; charges apply if you use Skype to call landlines or cell phones. To make a video call, you must have a webcam installed and selected for use through the Skype "Video Settings" feature. You can also hook up your Skype to your PS3, using its "Eye," the PS3's video camera, to make video calls from your PS3.
