Skype's group video call feature (http://mashable.com/2010/09/02/skype-5-for-*******/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) is **w free for all users.
The company introduced group video calls in 2010 (http://mashable.com/2010/05/05/skype-group-video-calling/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss), supporting group video chats for up to 10 users (http://mashable.com/2010/11/04/skype-for-mac-beta/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) at once. The feature was free for a few months during a public beta, but became a paid feature (http://mashable.com/2011/01/27/skype-5-0-for-mac/?utm_medium=feed&utm_source=rss) in early 2011.
