Start or join a Zoom meeting. The meeting automatically begins in Speaker View and you can see your own video. Right-click your video to display the menu, then choose Hide Myself. You no longer see the video of yourself, even though others in the meeting can see the video of you.
Zoom offers a full-featured Basic Plan for free with unlimited meetings. Your Basic plan has a 40 minutes time limit on meetings with three or more total participants.
It is available for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android and works with PSTN and H. 323/SIP room systems. Zoom will release licensing that will allow additional capacity in the 1st quarter of 2014.
Skype is better for teams looking for a holistic business solution. Zoom is a better fit for teams that have frequent video chats and meetings. However, neither tool was specifically built for remote work.

After joining or starting a meeting, click “Join Audio by Computer” to connect your computer's speaker and microphone to the Zoom Meeting.

Zoom in on the iPad screen. In many apps, you can zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to look closer in Photos or expand webpage columns in Safari. You can also use the Zoom feature to magnify the screen no matter what you're doing.
Video calls tend to use around 15MB of data for a 5-minute call, so if you tend to keep your calls short or don't make many of them this kind of data use shouldn't add up too much, but if you're video calling people for hours at a time it could do.
