Skype Group Video Calling Coming to Android, iOS, and Windows 10 Mobile
Today, we are excited to announce the next evolution – group video calling on Android, iPhone, iPad and Windows 10 Mobile.
“Ten years ago, NASA’s Stardust mission successfully brought back interstellar dust from a comet and the cloud existed only in the sky”.
Skype group video calling service lets up to 25 users share a video call on the desktop. Microsoft also didn’t say exactly when the free video calling would be rolled out to its mobile apps.
Microsoft said Tuesday that it will soon push free Skype group video calls to those users who have the Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile versions of Skype installed. Rival services like Google Hangouts, which allows up to 10 people on a group chat, have had it for some time now. All you’d have to do is head on over to Skype’s website, leave your email, Skype name, country, and device and there is a good chance you could have the feature enabled before everyone else.
In the latest update earlier this month, Skype also introduced to the ability to “Send video messages to groups directly from group chats”. We will have to wait and see.
According to Microsoft, Skype fans have been recurring to then video communication feature quite a lot over the last 10 years. Skype was introduced for the mobile devices nearly 6 years ago and ever since 750 million people have downloaded Skype on their phones and it is one of the most popular apps across the App Stores.
