Getting the most out of Skype Conference calls

I'm very happy with the latest setup. We bought a pair of Microsoft Lifecam VT 7000 units and the performance is stunning. I can stand 30 feet away from the computer in the kitchen while listening to my mom on large speakers in the living room. The sound is clear, no problems,  no cutting. The video is great too, although the 2 mega pixels are oversold a bit since anything past 1024 is hardly noticeable on my 19 inch screen.
