Microsoft continues to distribute gifts. A few weeks after the offering of Office iPad, it is the turn of Skype to announce good news to its owners. The video calling service / held by Microsoft in recent years to $ 8.5 billion, allows all users to use Skype group calls for free. Now, a user can combine 3 to 10 users video call, but for optimal use, Microsoft recommends a group of 5 people.
This function should be arriving soon on Mac, Windows, Xbox Live. This should allow Skype to bridge the gap compared to Google and Hangout which allows for free talks with several people.
The premium package removed
Skype finally states that this news should apply to mobiles, but without giving a date. It is worth noting a usage policy is still in effect, which states that "the group video calls are subject to a fair usage limit of 100 hours per month, 10 hours per day, 4 hours per call video ". Beyond this use, the video is automatically cut off and the calls are in sound mode only.
