<p>Skype will begin rolling out video messaging today to its iOS, Android, and Mac apps in the United States, United Kingdom, and a few other countries, a company representative confirmed to VentureBeat this morning. Changes to the chat service's terms of service in December hinted that video messaging was coming soon.</p><p>Skype users will be able to send video messages up to three minutes long. Unfortunately, there's no word on when video messaging will hit Windows.</p><p>A representative of the Microsoft-owned company said: "We're pleased that there's interest for Video Messaging to come to Skype for Windows and Skype for Windows 8. We'll let you know when we expand the service to the platform."</p><p>Video messaging is an important addition for Skype, since it allows for asynchronous video calling. Even if someone isn't available to pick up a video chat, you can still leave a video message. It's somewhat shocking that it's taken Skype so long to roll out the feature, especially given that the company was founded a decade ago. The widespread availability of cloud storage and faster Internet speeds likely made video messaging easier to implement today.</p><p><a href="http://venturebeat.com/2013/02/15/skype-officially-rolls-out-video-messaging-windows-live-messenger-transition-starts-in-april/">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.tuaw.com/2013/02/15/skype-testing-video-messaging-service-in-ios-and-mac-apps/">Skype testing video messaging service in iOS and Mac apps</a> (tuaw.com)</p><p><a href="http://www.zdnet.com/skype-rolls-out-video-messaging-beta-for-non-microsoft-platforms-7000011381/">Skype rolls out video-messaging beta for non-Microsoft platforms</a> (ZDNet)</p><p><a href="http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-57569605-85/skype-rolls-out-video-messaging-beta/">Skype rolls out video messaging beta</a> (CNET)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=d2IBID_gPcm0abMt9Q9sdMSvurnHM&ned=us">81 additional articles.</a></p>
