El Chat de Vídeo

I wanted to attend a meeting at UVA today but obviously wasn't able to since my body is in Guatemala (uh, is there a way to say that without making it sound like I'm dead?).  So, I did the next best thing: I made Nosheen video call me on Gchat during the meeting.

But only I could see them and they couldn't see me.

So I made Nosheen video call me on Skype.

But only they could see me and I couldn't see them.

So I made Nosheen video call me on Facebook chat.

And we finally hit the jackpot!  How is it that Google and Skype, both of which I consider to create reputable and high-quality products, failed me, where Facebook triumphed?  Also, why do I miss UVA so much that I need to video chat in for meetings?  Oh, to be in Charlottesville...
