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.

  • Enable Video Call for Skype

    I have just tried to do a video call to a Skype account, but the video doesn't show. I can't see my contact and they can't see me.
    All i get is a square with an avatar in it. How do I enable video calls for Skype so that we can both see each other?
    I do have the new firmware update too.

    here you go.
    be sure you are set up first:
    open your contact that you want to call.  be sure that it has a skype address already saved.  it will look like this:
    it will start to initiate the call.  once picked up, then it will look like this.  tap on the menu on top:
    a drop down menu will show.  inititiate the video ability:
    then it will show horizontally split with the options on the right and thier picture or camera image on the left.  tap on camera...after a few seconds, you will kick in.   this will work n900-any pc, and n900-n900.....over wifi, and over the tmobile network.
    hope that helped!

  • Is it possible to use group video call for remote ...

    Hi,
    Please can it be possible using skype with Remote Access software like Logmein for "Power Point Presentation" in meeting of about from 9 attendees to about 50 attendees remotely parcipating same time in the online meeting and with ability of each attendees to either contribute or ask question through call or through writing that to be heard or see by all participants sametime.

    Hi,
    You can use Skype for the audio calling part of that conference for maximum audio quality. Keep in mind that a group audio call in Skype is limited to 25 participants max.
    Logmein would be used in parallel for the interactive screenshare.

  • Group Video calls for Android?

    Is the Group Videochat option available for LG G Pad 8.3? I couldn't get it to work tonight, but I'm not sure if the problem is with my tablet or not, or if I need to do an update, etc.

  • Skype Group Video: Free for everyone or not?

    I've been paying for Skype Premium for 2 years now for group video chat.  Now I read EVERYWHERE including Skype's website that says Skype Group Video chat is now free.   So I chat with a Skype customer service guy to find out why I was charged for Skype Premium and why I even need it anymore. He tells me Group Video is NOT free for everyone and that it's coming in the near future.  I asked him why the FRONT PAGE of Skype.com says it's free and all he says it that it's not free.
    Anyone know what the deal is?
    Here's page 2-3 for our chat log:
    Spectral : at 16:20:44
    so if Group calling I now Free, I do not need Skype Premium? Since that's all I used it for
    Jogel V: at 16:18:06
    Alright..
    Jogel V: at 16:18:20
    But you still don't have this free premium Robert..
    Jogel V: at 16:18:43
    What do you want to do to your Skype Premium? Tell me please so I can assist you
    Spectral : at 16:22:24
    Sorry, I don't understand. The front page of Skype says Group calling is now free for everyone
    Spectral : at 16:22:48
    I was paying for Premium to get Group calling.
    Spectral : at 16:23:10
    so now that group is Free. I do not need Premium
    Jogel V: at 16:20:29
    Yes I understand..
    Jogel V: at 16:20:43
    We cannot do that just in one day Robert..
    Spectral : at 16:23:43
    do what?
    Jogel V: at 16:20:54
    It takes time for everyone to have it..
    Jogel V: at 16:21:06
    It's moving Robert.
    Jogel V: at 16:21:15
    You can wait.
    Jogel V: at 16:21:39
    Like what I ve said, you will receive notification about this once Free Group video calling reached
    you.
    Jogel V: at 16:21:43
    *reaches
    Spectral : at 16:24:49
    so group calling isn't Free even though Skype Web page says it's free?
    Jogel V: at 16:22:19
    It's free for some users Robert. As of now.. not for all.
    Jogel V: at 16:22:27
    We are still working on it.
    Jogel V: at 16:22:43
    I hope you understand..
    Jogel V: at 16:23:01
    So to settle this Robert, what do you want to happen??
    Spectral : at 16:27:06
    sorry, I don't. I know what you're saying. But why does www.skype.com says "Group calling is
    now FREE". Nowhere does it say it's free to only "some" people.
    Jogel V: at 16:24:27
    Yes..
    Jogel V: at 16:24:39
    Because people think Skype is unfair.
    Jogel V: at 16:24:45
    Why just for some right??
    Jogel V: at 16:25:04
    The reason why we put "ALL" because all users will have it..
    Jogel V: at 16:25:13
    Just wait robert..
    Spectral : at 16:28:10
    "Will" have it?
    Jogel V: at 16:25:29

    Spectral : at 16:28:28

    Jogel V: at 16:25:43
    For some//
    Jogel V: at 16:25:49

    Jogel V: at 16:26:00
    AS OF NOW..
    Jogel V: at 16:26:34
    Would there be anything else?

    Indeed we had some changes recently with Group Video calling becoming a free feature in Skype. Some further reading here: http://blogs.skype.com/2014/04/28/skype-loves-bringing-groups-together-with-free-group-video-calling...
    We therefor upgraded Skype Premium subscriptions as detailed here: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34454/what-s-new-with-group-video-calling
    The Skype Premium subscription you have includes an unlimited calling option to a country of your choice. This should get upgraded to an "Unlimited World" subscription allowing you to call 60+ countries while keeping the same subscription price. This upgrade hasn't seem to have happened yet for your account though.
    If you don't think you will use the calling subscriptions please follow the instructions here to cancel your subscription. Then follow the instructions here to request a refund: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA297/how-do-i-request-a-refund

  • 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.

  • 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 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.

  • 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.

  • Skype video calling for iphone 3g

    I don't see the new update for skype in the app store and the options just say call? How can i enable video call? Is it possible for the iphone 3g

    Skype v3.0 has video calling for iPhone 4, iPod touch 4G and iPhone 3GS only.
    http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-mobile/download/iphone-for-sky pe/
    As the iPhone 3Gs does not have a front facing camera, the person you are calling will only be able to see the view from the rear camera.

  • 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/

  • 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?

  • Can't join XBone Group Video calls

    My only choice when joining a group call is "join call without video". I'm unsure how to activate my Camera but i know its on. It works for other apps. When i'm in the call there is no video button like there is supposed to be. Everybody in call can see eachother except me and I can't see anybody. I can only hear them. I've messed around with the app and xbox settings but still no solution. Help? 

    I see.
    The number of participants in likely why you can't start a video call. Skype for Xbox One supports 4 video call participants max. If it is 4+, you can only participate with voice on your Xbox One.
