Skype Issues with Multiple Participants

SentientSam,

Yes it is possible to have up to 3 participants on a video call on skype for Xbox One. Here is a link to the support page with the step-by-step to start the video call for 3 people:

Hopefully this will help you out.

Increasing the number of participants for calls hosted on the Xbox is important to us, too and we'll continue to strive to improve the app performance and feature set over time.

Note: an Xbox One user can participate in a call with more than 4 participants if the call is not hosted on the Xbox.

Ray, you're mistaken. You can have up to 8 participants in party chat, not Skype. As for how many participants are allowed in the Skype app, I'm actually not sure, but I imagine it's the same as however many are allowed on the PC version of Skype.

Yes, you can invite players to your game and to your party.

The Xbox One uses a notification system similar to the Xbox 360, so if someone sends you a message/invite/etc., you'll see it pop up on the bottom of your screen. If you hold down the Xbox button in the middle of your controller, it will go to the message/accept
the invite/etc. The message/party/etc. will then pop up on the right side using the snap-center.

Hello there @EdyPark, I hope everything is going well!

Thank you for reaching Microsoft Xbox Forum support. I want you not to worry about the situation because I am here to help you out! I believe your console might need either a network reset or just a system refresh. I would like you to go through the following steps to clear the Mac address and then perform a quick power cycle on your console:

Settings > Network Settings > Advanced Settings > Alternate Mac Address > Clear it and the console should restart. It would definitely help if you could restart the internet router while the console is restarting.

After going through the troubleshooting steps mentioned, I invite you to perform a quick power cycle by turning off the console and then unplugging all the cables. After 2 to 3 minutes, re-plug them back again, then restart your console.

In case the issue still persists, the next step would be to perform a reset on the console. To do so you will need to follow the steps below to perform a reset on the Xbox :

Settings > System > Console Info > Reset This Xbox > Reset and Keep my Games and Apps.

Note =>The "Reset and Keep my Games and Apps" option will not cause losing your games, but please be aware that you need to be completely aware of the email address as well as the password of your account before going for it because it will require you to sign in to the account.

I wish you a lovely day, and I hope this helps you out! All the best!

Kind Regards

Stay safe, and happy gaming!
