PC owners will be first to get the new multi-video chat feature, though a Mac version is expected later this year.

Group Video Calling will be free at first, but Skype has plans to bundle it with upcoming features and eventually -- in three to four months time -- charge for the additional functionalities.

Skype has already become a ubiquitous consumer service and business utility. The addition of five-person video chat will make for a welcome change, especially for TV owners who upgrade to Skype-friendly sets. We also imagine five-person video calling will appeal to business users.
