Huh. I don't use Skype a ton but I remember having a chat with multiple video feeds showing not too long ago...what am I missing?

With a Skype Premium account you can call landline or mobile numbers anywhere in the world.  I believe when you setup a Skype premium account you can also establish a telephone number for your console, but I could be wrong.  Never have done it.

With Xbox LIVE Gold and Skype you can, as you comment on, have a video conference with up to 2 additional people (four total).  With Skype Premium you have the added benefit of being able to call someone and have a voice conversation with them via the Xbox One.


I think you're wrong. You can have a total of one conversation using videoconference with normal Skype. Premium Skype gives you unlimited videoconferences.

You are correct in regards to Windows, Mac, or Linux.  However, Microsoft has already stated that with the Xbox One and a Gold subscription to Xbox LIVE you will be able to video call up to four people.  It's an added feature of Skype on the Xbox One.

So if you're Skyping to people with Xbox One consoles and Xbox LIVE Gold, you're all covered.  However, Windows/Mac/Linux users will be required to have a Premium account to group chat with you.
