Skype for iPad allows video calls in groups of up to 25 people

skype-group-calls

Last month, Microsoft announced that it was working on the app for mobile devices so that also had the option of making group video calls. Currently this function was only available in the desktop version on the different platforms where available. This week that ended today, Microsoft announced that it had begun to roll out the update so that any user can, from their iOS or Android devices, make video calls to groups of up to 25 people. If getting a person together to make a video call is already complicated, I don't want to imagine being able to gather more members to be able to enjoy this new function.

This new feature, began to be deployed this past week in the United States and Europe, but until the end of next week it will not reach all users, so if you still do not see it available on your iPhone or iPad, do not despair. The operation of Skype in group video calls is very similar to that of Google Hangouts, showing the people who are speaking at that moment on a larger screen. When during the conversation the interlocutor changes, this will be shown in the part of the larger screen, as we can see in the image above.

Skype has evolved a lot since its first and versions and currently offers us the possibility of making calls and video calls directly from the browser without having to install the application. A good way for users to have it much easier when using this application without the problems that installing applications can cause for some people. In addition, to use Skype, it is not necessary to open a new account since if we have an account in Hotmail or Outlook, that account is sufficient to use the service.
