Skype Introduces Ten-Way Video Calls
Skype has released an exciting new beta for it’s service. The highlight of this beta is the ability to have video chat services with up to ten (10) people at one time. Everyone who is on the specific video call must be running the most up to date version of Skype for the call to work. For a brief time, this feature will be free, but expect to see a charge added as we move forward. The new beta also also comes with offline messaging, improvements to both the quality and reliability of calls, and a revamped user interface that Skype says is sleeker, neater, and crisper than before.
