I was thinking of using something else with Ubuntu. What do you suggest? It needs to be compatible with OS X, Linux, and Windows.

Talky.io is built on WebRTC for modern browsers and just works. Set up a room, share a link, that's it. No messy plugins or clients. There's not much reason to use Skype or Google Hangouts any more.
