Do You Use the Video Option In Your Game And Why?

My group use video chat. When we're in an RP encounter, I like being able to see people express and be animate and I believe my players like seeing me act like a goofball while in the GM chair. I can use props to get my point across like an old fashion in-person game. The other bonus is that its immediately apparent if a player is confused about the UI or with a rule, because you'll see their perplexed expression long before they'll speak up about it. We also found that my players will use the built-in chat alongside video chat. They use the chatroom for in-character banter that I don't pay attention to (unless the players feel they need to draw my attention to it). This gives my players the chance to all act at once in real time without completely derailing what I'm doing at any given time. - It replicates the real world scenario where a GM is talking directly to only one/two of the PCs in a party while the rest of the group can talk(conspire) quietly among themselves without interrupting the discussion.

Hey guys, since this thread doesn't pertain to a suggestion, I'm going to (try to) move this over to the General and Off-Topic Discussion forum.
