Skype to punch up its mobile app with group chats

From CNET: Skype will add group chats to its mobile app to mark the 10th anniversary of offering video calls.

The Microsoft-owned company said Tuesday in a blog post that the new feature will show up "in the coming weeks" on its app for iOS, Android and Windows 10 Mobile.

"It really has been a decade since Skype changed the way people connect with their loved ones," said Gurdeep Pall, corporate vice president of Microsoft. "Six years ago, we innovated again with one-to-one video calling on mobile phones. Today, we are excited to announce the next evolution."

Skype didn't say how many people will be able to share a video call on the mobile app, though its desktop version allows for 10 participants. Also unstated is the specific date for the feature's arrival.
