Skype doubles max number of group call participants to 50

Updated April 5, 2019: Expanded group calling is now rolling out to everyone.

If you find yourself holding large meetings over Skype calls, you'll soon be able to make them even bigger. As part of an update being trialed with Skype Insiders now, Microsoft is doubling the maximum number of group call participants for Skype from 25 to 50 (via Neowin).

The notification change is being added to all group video calls, so even members of smaller groups will get a notification instead of a ring. If you want to join in after a call has started, you'll still have the option to do that.

The increased call limit is being tested with Skyper version 8.41.76.55 now.
