The reason behind this step is the increasing competition Skype is facing from other services such as Google Hangout, which offered free group calling for free ever since it launched, the report added.

At present, the free group video support is limited to Mac, windows and Xbox One, but Skype assures users that the support will extend to other platforms soon.
