However, Skype video calling is only free on the Desktop (Both Windows and Mac) and Console (Only Xbox One) apps, mobile support and also support for other platforms hasn’t yet come (But is coming soon).
“In the future, we’ll be enabling group video calling for all our users across more platforms,” says Skype’s Phillip Snalune.
