Skype Group Video Communication Service is free

After rivals such as Google Hangouts started offering free group video chats early on, Microsoft has finally caught up with the trend to make Skype's Group video communications Service free at last. In recent years, Skype users have urged Skype's group video chat service to be free, starting today, and Windows, Mac, and Xbox One users will be able to use this service feature at no extra cost.

Phillip Snalune from Skype said: "In the future, we will provide group video communication to all our users across more platforms." "Previously Microsoft has been providing this functionality as part of the Skype premium value-added services for paid users." Users need to pay 8.99 dollars a month to enjoy the group video Chat service, but also include some free calls and other concessions. Skype's group video calls support up to 10 users who use a PC or Mac to participate in a common chat. Microsoft has also shown a gradual shift in its strategy to free this feature, and Skype will have more of a competitive edge in the future.
