Microsoft Launches 'Skype Qik' Group Video Messaging for iPhone [Video]

Microsoft has launched 'Skype Qik', a new group video messaging app for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

Introducing Skype Qik (say “quick”), a free video messenger made for capturing moments and sharing laughs throughout your day. Set up a group and immediately start shooting and swapping videos. Send something to crack your friends up, or show off a new dance move—whatever you want. New messages are added to a chat that you can watch like a movie with a single tap. Qik even lets you erase your video right out of the chat.



Features:
• Create groups in a flash: grab a bunch of friends from your phone’s address book and start a private chat.
• Pre-record and send video clips (Qik Fliks): can’t respond right away? Thumbs-ups, smileys and more, starring you.
• Erase your message and it disappears from the conversation.**
• Keep it fresh—messages are automatically erased from Qik after two weeks.
• Start a conversation any time—no login, usernames, or passwords needed.


You can download Skype Qik from the App Store for free. It's still propagating across the app store but it will be available in your locale soon!
