Microsoft is testing video message feature on Skype. Skype users in the UK and US using the iOS, Android, and OSX apps can now send video messages up to three minutes long to each other.

Strangely Skype Video Messages won’t immediately come to Windows Phone or Windows 8. Video messages sent to Windows users will send a link to the user where they can watch the video online.

Tom Warren of The Verge had a chance to test the feature:

We tested the feature out on all available platforms and it seems to sync the video messages just as you’d expect. If you want to download the messages on the Mac side, they’re available in MP4 format.
