Skype users now have access to free group video calling. Previously, users would need to pay around $10 a month for this functionality. Group video calling is available on Windows, Windows RT, Mac and Xbox One.

A fair usage policy applies, limiting users to 100 hours per month, with no more than 10 hours per day and 4 hours per call. Once these limits are exceeded, the video will switch off and the call will be converted to purely audio.
