Skype began testing its Video Messages feature back in February on Mac, Android, and iOS. Today the feature makes its debut on the Windows platform in the latest beta for Skype. Microsoft is giving Windows 7 and Windows 8 desktop users a preview of the new feature. The Windows 8 “Metro” version of Skype currently doesn’t support sending Video Messages (Windows 8 and Windows Phone users can receive video messages) but that feature is coming soon, according to Skype’s blog post.
Video Messages is still in testing but users can send up to 20 Video Messages per month before having to sign up for Skype Premium for $4.99 a month to continue using the feature.
You can download the latest Skype desktop beta for Windows 7 or Windows 8 here and try out Video Messages yourself.
