WLM Video Call/Chat Question -- Multiway?

Does WLM video call/chat support more than two video chatters
simultaneously-- essentially in a video-conference-like format.

So far the only video chat I've tried has been a two-way connection. Would
like to be able to establish a multiway link between 4 points simultaneously.

Does WLM have this capability?

Seems like this should be possible however I haven't found an explicit
reference to this subject in my searching.

Thanks for any assistance/suggestions available.

No, currently you can only do a video chat with one person at a time using
Windows Live Messenger.

Greetings,

Messenger does allow you to 'Show your webcam' (this is separate to the Video call) to
multiple people, although they'll all show up in different conversation windows.

Audio is one-to-one only. However, you can use Skype to do the multi-person audio. I know
several people who've done this sort of hack. Skype doesn't have multi-person video which is
why this is needed.
