Screenrecording w/audio support

sudo apt-get install gtk-recordmydesktop recordmydesktop

On kubuntu(QT):
sudo apt-get install krecordmydesktop recordmydesktop

Skype and Teamspeak
Skype:
Download Skype v1.4 beta
install the binary package for your distrobution and you should be set.

Teamspeak
Download Teamspeak

After downloading the package, you need to extract it. Run the install shell script.
NOTE! sudo apt-get install aoss
Now run:
aoss /home/morphir/TeamSpeak2/teamspeakbinary

Most modern distros use alsa, that is why you need aoss to convert the oss (opens source sound) to alsa output/input.

VNC
To share your screen you need a VNC client. The server is provided by webavant and the dojo group.
sudo apt-get install x11vnc
