I tried to do a 3-way video chat on Skype on Xbox One today, but we could only do audio chat. That is, it connected three of us, but none of us could see any one else's video feed. I've tried following the official instructions on group video chat on the Skype app for Xbox One, but it didn't work. Has anyone else been able to get it to work? Is the problem, based on the fine print quote above, the fact that only I have "compatible HD displays"? One of them was on a Windows 8.1 PC and the other on a Surface RT. I have the Skype Premium account (I logged into my account online just to double check), so what am I missing?
For 1080p video call, both users must have compatible HD displays, web cams and messaging clients, and broadband internet. Up to four people can be added to a group video call on Xbox One. At least one person on the call must have a Skype Premium account.
