Hi Debra,
Only 2 people can use the video option with skype simultaneously.
As for as "free"solutions go, altenatives include, you might try ooVoo,
Tokbox, or Flashmeeting.

http://flashmeeting.open.ac.uk/home.html
On a Mac, the excellent iChat AV supports up to 4 simultaneous video
participants.
There are also several good commercial systems available, such as Adobe
Connect Pro, Marratech, or Elluminate.

http://elluminate.com/
Elluminate offers free 3-person rooms. They charge for accounts that support
more users.
I hope this helps a bit, there are more solutions out there, but this is
what I could come up with in 2 minutes. Feel free to contact me directly via
e-mail.
Best, Felix
