About this tag
Group calls are a key feature in real-time communication tools like Skype and Microsoft Edge. Skype 5.0 introduced group video calling in open beta, alongside social integrations and call quality improvements. Microsoft Edge added ORTC API support for advanced real-time communications, enabling developers to build group call experiences. These developments highlight ongoing enhancements in Windows-based communication platforms.
In October last year, we announced our intention to Link Removed, and we have been hard at work on our implementation since then. Today, we are excited to announce that a preview version of our ORTC API implementation is available in the latest Windows Insider Preview release.
