Since the feature is basically aimed at “hosting” a video call, the hosting party gets all the regular features like user management, muting people, kicking participants out (not that you’d want to do that). Skype promises that it will continue to enhance it future releases, but for now, the limitation stays there. The limitation, however, is that you can have only four participants in the group call in this first release. The feature, which is available in Skype for iPhone version 5.4, allows you to initiate a group audio call if you already have existing groups established in the app. Today, the company has released an update for its iOS app that enables users to host group audio calls for free, right from their iPhones. And it makes sense, too in my personal experience, short of FaceTime, nothing gives as good an experience as Skype.

Despite various services out there that have become all the rage for video conferencing and VoIP calling, Skype remains the medium of choice for a large majority of users.
