The Mac client is very much the same, but there's an optional to download the video messages you receive. You can send up to three minutes of video to users who are either online or offline and the video will be delivered in the chat part of Skype. The feature works on Android and iOS by using the front facing camera, with an option to switch to the rear. Although it won't initially be available for Windows users, those using the Skype for Windows or Skype for Windows Phone will receive the messages with a link to view them online. Designed for online and offline messaging, Video Messages lets Skype users send up to three minutes of video to each other.
The company has been working on the feature for a number of months, having previously revealed it a little early, and it debuts on iOS, Android, and Mac.
Microsoft is launching a new Video Messages feature for Skype this week.
