In these days when communication and teleworking are becoming quite important, group video calls are becoming very important. And, in this regard, although it is true that there are alternatives such as Zoom or Hangouts, multitudes of companies and people are using Skype to keep in touch.
However, there is a question that is quite crucial when choosing the best service to make calls and video calls, regardless of whether it is for use with friends, family, students or in business environments, and it is none other than the number of users who can simultaneously connect to a video call on Skype.
Skype allows group calls with up to 50 people at the same time
In this case, the current limit set by Microsoft is 50 people per group call or video call, regardless of plan hired. This means that, for free, you will be able to use Skype with 50 different users using your Internet plan, that is, without calling through the telephone line.
In this way, just as advertise on their website, just by installing Skype and using a Microsoft account, you can connect to video calls with up to 49 other participants, which can use both their computers and their Macs, tablets, mobiles or even televisions or other accessories to make the connection in real time. In addition, if any of them wish, they can use the application's own features, such as the ability to share the screen or blur the background, as well as mute or activate the microphone and deactivate or activate the camera.
As if this were not enough, as long as the connections and hardware of all participants allow it, video conferences made with Skype will maintain HD quality that can go up to 1080p, something that will be appreciated on many occasions and that also does not happen in all similar applications to make video calls.
