Where will you use group video?
At home
Experience the magic of having your loved ones together for regular family catch ups. Ideal if you work from home, too. Simply add two or more people to a video call to get together face-to-face.
To get group video at home, you'll need Skype Premium.
At work
Group video calling can help you to build relationships and work effectively with colleagues, customers and clients from all over the world. Plus cutting down on travel means more time with loved ones at home.
To get group video across your business, set it up in Skype Manager.
What do you need?
At least one person on the call needs Skype Premium or a group video subscription from Skype Manager.
For everyone on the call to see video, each person needs:
- a webcam
- a broadband connection
- Skype 5.0 or higher or the Skype business version.
Remember to invite contacts to join you on the latest version.
How it works
System requirements
Group video calls can be between three or more people (up to a maximum of 10). For the best quality, we recommend calls with up to five people.
For the best video quality, we recommend you use a high-speed broadband connection of 4 Mbps down/512 kpbs up and a computer with a Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz processor. The minimum you'll need is a high-speed broadband connection of 512 kbps down/128 kpgs up and a computer with a 1 GHz processor.
Note: people with Skype video-enabled mobiles are currently able to join group video calls via voice only.
