Skype is planning to release a beta version of a new group video chat feature. With the new group video chat, up to five people will be able to participate in conference calls. When the group video function is launched it will be provided for free for all Skype users. However, Skype plans to charge for the call feature eventually. Currently, Skype offers free voice and video calls through the Internet, along with instant messages to other Skype users. If users would like to make calls from a PC to a landline or cell phone, they can pay a subscription fee. Within the next week Skype is expected to announce new subscription plans that allow users to choose which countries they want to call and whether or not to call landlines, cell phones or both.
