Group Video call limit for Skype Business

Hi there,Can anyone tell me what the maximum number of participants for a video call is in Skype Business?And also in Skype Primium? Many thanks!

If you go to your account, in the upper left hand corner of the page, under where it says Welcome, your-user-name, there should be a link "subscripton." Clicking on that link should take you to another page, Skype Premium settings, where is says Skype Premium is active.
If you don't have that, contact Customer Service through this link:
https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA1170/How-can-I-contact-Skype-Customer-Service
You won't be able to make group video calls until your account shows you have a Premium subscription active.

Group Video Calling for Skype TV

Hi,
I just purchased a Panasonic LED with the Skype Webcam plus bought a Skype Premium account for group video calling but cannot figure out how to set up a group video call. Can someone assist? Normal 1 to 1 works fine.
Does the Skype TV app have the ability to group video call? If not, will there be an update coming out as its pretty useless to me unless we have this feature. So if there is an update coming out do we know time frames?
thanks

Hi
We are exploring all the technical options for making Group Video Calling available on TVs. Most of these options, to be honest, will need an updated TV with a faster processor and more memory. However, there are some alternative options we are also exploring which could potentially support Group Calling on the current generation of TVs.

Skype Premium after Free Group Video Calls

The short version of it: Either
Good Decision, now refund your loyal paying customers; or
Poor Decision, it should remain a pay-only product.
Which one is it going to be?
The long version of it:
Okay, Skype, I think there will be a flood of people coming in here and also people flooding the e-mails and live chats of the support team. So since it looks like nobody is going to put it up for talks, I guess I'm going to do it - what's going to happen to us who paid for a month... a few months... or even, like myself, a year of Skype Premium? Are we getting pro-rated refunds?
I know there will be someone from the Skype team that will redirect everyone to the "Refunds are eligible for those who haven't used the service yet" support article, but what about those who already paid and are now publicly notified that the core feature of Skype Premium, Group Video Calling, is now free? I've shelled out on almost $500 of Skype Premium gifts to my friends (over $100 of it to myself), each for a year of Skype Premium. What does that mean for us? What does that mean for you if you did something similar... or just had a year of service for one?
Be advised, folks, I see nothing that says that when Skype Premium is discontinued, no refunds will be offered. This means the Skype team can do as they will. If they do the wrong thing, however, then maybe their competitor (and I'm talking about the big, blue G) might have more worth in the end.
Don't disappoint your customers, Skype.
Are you affected by this change? How muc hdid you pay for Skype Premium and what's your length of subscription? Is it still going to be active the next month and probably the month after? Let's all let the Skype team know what's going on and how we feel about it.

Summary: Skype eventually refunded my money into my bank account, after an ordeal though!
Initially, Skype had given me pro-rated Skype credit on 9-May from 1-May to the year on. But I don't use Skype credit at all, so there wasn't much I could have done with it. The only reason I had premium was to make group video calls.
I contacted Skype and the Customer Service Executive (CSE) told me that since it has been more than 14 days from the transaction date, a refund could not be made. I had to explain that that credit was useless to me, I had not received a notification of such a transfer and if I should onsider my £20 donated to Skype. I was told that, "... because you are a loyal customer, we'll refund the money into your bank account and it will reach you within 3 - 5 business days"
I left a really nice feedback for that CSE, since I was satisfied. But, then I received an email saying that as the amount of $20 (note the currency mixup), had already been added to my Skype credit, there was no monetory refund needed. My head blew up!! This was not only deceiving but also a company backing out on its word.
Following that, I contacted Skype again. Re-iterated the entire scenario and mentioned how the first CSE had lied to me. After almost 30 mins of debating, I got the same "loyal customer" dialog and a confirmation of refund (again). But this time I was skeptic and the feedback wasn't equally good.
After 3 days I got the money in my account.

Re: Skype Premium after Free Group Video Calls

I agree. I did not see any SKYPE email notice that the premium was being discontinued. I now Skype primarily from my iPad and over the past year I couldn't use the premium service. So this has been a waste. There is no way to contact SKYPE, so I will have to contact my credit card company and dispute the charge.

Hello,
Your Unlimited UK Subscription has been changed to Unlimited World at no additional cost to you which means that, instead of just being able to call UK you can now call to 60+ countries worldwide. Skype Premium is still there for Group Video Calls (GVC).
Everyone has had their individual country/regional Subscriptions changed to Unlimited World at no additional cost. Skype recognized that more and more people wished to call to more and more countries and this change enables them to do so without additional Subscription cost. It's a significant benefit. If you don't wish to use the Subscription you can cancel it at any time.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

Skype Group Video calls on Panasonic Vierra

Have just purchased a Premium account to run group calls on my Panasonic Vierra TV. This appears not possible at this time. Has anybody else had this issue or has a solution?
Thanks

OK! I am totally with you. Bought the Panasonic Vierra TV which boasted supporting Skype. Then the Skype App would not woek until I had the video cam. Bought the Panasonic Video Cam to get everything working only to find out that the Panasonic Skype App did not support group video calling. Bummer! Why couldn't they just tell us that before we wasted all that money. I am very dissapointed with Panasonic and Skype.

Is premium still needed for group video calls?

Hello, i remember needing Premium to be able to make a group video call. But I dont find this inforamation anymore and I even dont find how to subscribe to Premium. What is the situation today? Thanks a lot.

Group video calls have been free since the end of April 2014. No type of subscription is required. http://blogs.skype.com/2014/04/28/skype-loves-bringing-groups-together-with-free-group-video-calling/

Group Video Calling

Is Skype Premium to tool I need to have group video conferences for multiple offices. I want each office to see all other offices during the conference and I need to control and pay for the entire package from one account. Does it include Skype Manager and is it $9.99 per month for each office location or account. Example if I have 5 offices is it $9.99 per office. Can we also do desktop/screen sharing for document collaboration with this package.

Hello MerwynJohn. With group video calling you can get Send file, contacts, share your desktop, take a picture, or add people to the conversation. All everyone needs is the latest business version of Skype, a laptop and a webcam. Itʼs simple to use, group video calls can be between three or more people (up to a maximum of 10), and at least one person on the call needs a group video calling subscription. For the best quality, we currently recommend video calls with up to five people. For group video calling everyone on the call needs the latest version of Skype for Windows plus a webcam. You'll also need a high-speed broadband connection (we recommend sustained 512 kbit/s downlink or more) and a computer with a 1 GHz processor (minimum) or Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz (recommended). We also recommend a minimum of 1 GB memory and 2 GB memory for group video calls with up to five participants. I hope this answered your questions. If you have anymore just post them and I'll answer them for you. Beowolfv

Why in 2014 do we still not have group video call ...

I wanted to fire up skype on my tv to get to use a cam at all, but i can't since the darn skype app still has no group video call, only group voice calls...
When will that app be updated to support it?

It seems foolish to use Adobe's video products when they can't produce output. (Yes, I know one can use Encore CS6 with at least the current versions of Premiere "Pro" CC, but I trust there are few who would consider it a reasonable workflow.)
Easy output workflow if one has the need for DVD
Export MPEG 2 > Import to * Encore> Output DVD.
* Middle step can be replaced by DVD application of choice.
What's the problem?

Screen sharing in group video calling

Is it available screen sharing option for gp video calls ?

I got this e-mail too. I do not think it is scam. But I want to use both desktop and windows apps. What the problem? Please Skype team do not change anything.

Hello .......,
It looks like you’ve signed into two Skype for Windows apps ‒ Skype for Windows desktop and Skype for modern Windows ‒ on your Windows 8 device.
We’re simplifying your experience down to one app that you can use either with your mouse and keyboard or with touch. Going forward you’ll only need to use the Skype for Windows desktop app. This app has more features to help you stay connected like screen sharing and group video calling. Also, your chat conversations (from the last 30 days) and all your contacts will appear as normal.
Note: From 7 July, 2015 you’ll no longer be able to sign into the Skype for modern Windows app.

Group Video Call

Hello,
My company is exploring upgrading to Business Skype. We would like the ability to host Group Video Chats, the main concern here is, do the other parties need to also have business skype in order to participate in the Group Video Chat.
We would like to upgrade to Business Skype to have this functionality while not forcing our customers to have to upgrade. Please provide me with more information as well as rates/Subscription fees.
Thank you.

Hi HWSands,
The quick answer to your question is 'No'. Your customers do not have to business Skype accounts to join your Group Video Conference. Only the host is required to have the Group Video Calling subscription. The cost of group video calling is GBP£4.99 per month.
If you would like more information about how to use Skype in your business please get in touch.
I hope this helps.

Group Video Calls

We recently purchased a Samsung TV model H7150 and discovered that the Skype application is not compatible with Group Video calls. Is there a solution? Will Skype be upgrading the application on the Samsung TV to allow for group calls? Thank you

Hi
All Skype TVs can join a group audio call (ie your TV can be a participant on a group audio call). However, most TVs won't allow you to be the person who starts that group audio call. This is because hosting the call requires more processing power.
All Skype TVs can also participate in group video calls, but on the TV you will only be able to send and receive audio (you will not send or receive video).
The only TVs currently capable of group video calling are Samsung TVs, and specifically these models:
2014 TVs with built-in cameras
2015 All TVs in the following model ranges:
J55xx
J63xx
J65xx
JU6xxx
JU7xxx
JS8xxx
JS9xxx

Tely Labs telyHD - Group Video Calling

Hi there,
I'm thinking about buying the Tely Labs telyHD for use at work. I have a Skype Premium Account but can I use this Tely Labs telyHD for group video calling?

So, this weekend we (5 of us) tested Skype Premium... I was very excited to get the service (as its £2.99 a day, should have been free for 7 days as per the site). http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/group-video-calls/ Thinking as I’m paying for it that it would be great. Found the services less than acceptable…
I have friends in the USA, Spain, South Africa and the UK and the video was less than pleasant. They all reported video dropping out at different times for no reason. My friend in the UK (1.5 hours’ drive away his video was the worst) for me. I hosted the call in the UK and I have a 30MB Fibre Optic line (Virgin, and I get 30MB and 3MB upload - I get this speed many speed tests, not on the same day obviously). I monitored my link and only used max a 150KB of the link with these results. Having this test run, we decided to starts using another product with an “O and ends in an o” (don’t want to advertise other products in this forum) straight after, which is free for group video calling but advert support. Much better experience all the video work and audio was better to.
I’m so disappointed Skype, I was really wanting this to work and to be great. So having paid the money for the service I would like a refund. I think the 15 minutes we used doesn’t justify the day rate. Could someone please contact me and credit my Skype account.
Very disappointed Skype (Microsoft) on the "Premium Service"! This is my honest opinion and not a bashing, I’m not pushing other products merely let people know about the experience.
