Sometime next week Skype will unveil a new public beta product with a Group Video Calling feature that will allow users to participate in a group video chat with up to five people.
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.

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.
