Microsoft is running a new promotion called the ‘Skype Collaboration Project’ that is allowing Skype users to make free group calls, free group screen sharing, no advertising and access to live customer support, for free. All of these features are typically reserved for premium account holders but you can get them free for 12 months by hitting the link at the bottom of this post.



When you visit the offer page, you must enter your email address and a code will be sent to your inbox. One interesting thing to note is that when you add the code to your account, it shows a credit of $107.88. We are not sure if that credit can be used for other features, such as calling a landline, but it is a somewhat odd way to add the features to your account.

No matter the reason, getting 12 months of these features for free is worth taking advantage of and takes only about a minute of your time to complete the transaction.

Not quite sure what the difference would be. Confused
I got a normal Skype account, can do group calls, never see any ads, not sure about the screen sharing part though, never tried it.
Am i missing or misunderstanding what it offers?

Dont think so, we do it for work a lot. (more than one person on a call). Maybe my work account is premium.
But I know my son uses the crap out of his with him and his friends on the same skype call for gaming, and I know his is the basic one.

AH could be, never had a use for videochat myself. So never used it in group calls.

Yea, only reason I have it. Company makes us use it, since 99% of businesses we deal with have it to quick communicate with us vs e-mail.

And kids...holy hell I think every kids uses it. Running my old MC server, Skype names frantically being tossed out and asked to add and message them, like it was phone numbers at a bar at 2am closing time on a Saturday.
