Ideally they'd do meetme videoconferencing for which a bounty has 
existed for over a year.  I'm not sure that the bounty would still be 
valid, but it's a feature that is oft requested.

I.E. mixing multiple video streams/codecs into one big picture and then 
compressing that and sending a copy to each person.  Other alternative 
is to use something like VAD to decide which video stream to play.
