Create groups in Skype for Windows Desktop or Skype for Modern Windows to host a three-way voice or audio call. You cannot host a Skype group call if you are using a mobile device, TV or Linux system, but you can participate in audio group calls. Once you've created your group, use the video or audio Call buttons to start the call.
