Group calls in Skype

Skype calls for groups

NOTE: Group calls are a for-charge service (prices listed on the Skype site).  Free 7-day trials of group calls are available.

To place a Skype call, select the desired contact and then the Call or Video call button (for audio only or video and audio respectively).  Once a call has been established, click on the Add People button.

Additional callers can also be added during a call by the button bar at the bottom of the call screen.  This button bar is shown below - the fifth item from the margin is the Add People button.
