Our friends at Skype recently released Skype 5.0 for Windows and Mac, which features a beta group video feature using VP8, the video codec in WebM. In the first half of 2010, approximately 40% of Skype-to-Skype calls were video calls and we’re excited that in the future many of those calls will be made using VP8.
To check out the new group video feature, simply download the Skype Software.
Note: For group video to work, everyone on the call needs the new Skype for Windows or Mac, a webcam and a broadband connection.
