Yes, this is correct. On the webinar GW techs stated that it is possible to incorporate video into GWSkype. They also stated it is coming soon as it is not currently available.
I'm a bit curious of how they will handle the addition of future Skype features. Let's say Skype introduces a remote desktop feature for example. I'm assuming it will take a little while before GW, first decides they will add this to GWSkype, then actually creates the new interface that accommodates the remote desktop feature. Just how much time will lapse from the introduction of the new Skype feature until we will see it added to GWSkype? What if they decide not to bother with the new feature because they want GWSkype users to use their in house solution? I guess all these questions should actually be asked next year as GW is probably going to have their hands full with this new toy for a while.
