Skype is actively testing a new video messaging service with a "group
of mobile and mac users" according to its official Twitter account
today. The new feature, which doesn't require a new update to the mobile
app, enables users to send video messages back and forth up to 3
minutes in length. If you've been selected to be part of this initial
test, the option will be found under a contact's name in the "More"
category, which now holds options to do video messages and send files.
You get a basic video interface where you can press the record button to
start, and when you're done hit the record button again to save and
send the message.
The menu item clearly says "20 free video
messages remaining", so we're going to assume that sending video
messages is going to be a premium feature costing Skype credits going
forward. Are you seeing the feature show up in the Skype app on your
devices? Let us know in the comments
