Skype to Add Five-Way Video Calling

Sometime next week Skype will unveil a new public beta product with a Group Video Calling feature that will allow users to participate in a group video chat with up to five people.

PC owners will be first to get the new multi-video chat feature, though a Mac version is expected later this year.

Group Video Calling will be free at first, but Skype has plans to bundle it with upcoming features and eventually — in three to four months time — charge for the additional functionalities.
