Skype group video chat now free for all users

Now it seems a more viable option for broadcasters, at least in price.

They were probably noticing a sizable shift to Google plus Hangouts. I began doing that for my shows.

Here's Skype's post

BTW they note that it includes Screen Sharing in Group as well.

Note that Premium is gone for the time being as the key features are now free.

Wow...that's odd considering they were giving away codes for a year of free premium back in December. Well, I guess that's good news then. :)

That is great news! Thanks for posting this Linuxcooldude.

I am starting to rely on these forums instead of other websites for the latest news.

Anyone here know if it does HD in group calling now?
