“Today, we are excited to announce the next evolution – group video calling on Android, iPhone, iPad and Windows 10 Mobile. To get a sneak peek, pre-register below” Gurdeep Pall, Microsoft vice president in the Skype unit, has stated on January 12 Skype Big blog.

According to the blog post, over 750 million people have downloaded free Skype application so far on their devices from iTunes Store and Google Play.

Skype is not the only provider of users’ video calling service. Google’s Hangouts too has similar features for quite some time but supports only up to 10 users.
