skype 5.0 beta

This beta version comes with a free trial of group video calling. Video call up to nine of your friends – all at the same time. Everyone on the call will be able to see and hear each other.



Note: you must upgrade to Skype 5.0 Beta 2 for Windows and activate the free trial to make group video calls. Everyone on the call needs Beta 2, otherwise the group video call won't work. During the beta period, you can reactivate your free trial when it expires.
