You can share this link with your contacts—either individually or as a group—via email or via your social networks. Once they click on the link, they’ll be able to join your conversation immediately. They can also join as a Guest if they’re using Skype for Web.

Microsoft will let you invite up to 300 people to chat, while up to 25 people on voice and video calls all for free.
