Bangalore: Skype today announced it has updated its software for enterprises with Group Video Calling, which is available immediately in the new Business version of Skype (version 5.1 for Windows PCs). This new desktop offering empowers businesses of all sizes to enrich their communications and enhance their business relationships through the ability of having group video calls between three or more people. The Business version of Skype offers a powerful communications platform for individuals to interact in real-time over high quality audio and video, conference calling, instant messages, SMS, or even by sharing files or screen sharing one's desktop or a presentation. The new feature will set you back around NZ$11.80 per user per month, though discounts are available for those who sign up for a 3 or 12-month subscription. Approximately 37 percent of Skype users say they use Skype's product platform occasionally or often for business-related purposes. In addition, video calling accounted for approximately 41.5 percent of all Skype-to-Skype minutes in the second half of 2010.
