Launch Skype on your PC and click the "Group" icon above your list of contacts. An empty window will appear.
Click and drag the contacts you wish to be in the group call into the window. First, follow the steps above adding all callers who are on Skype. If there are none, the initial process is still the same. Launch Skype on your Mac and click the "Chats" icon at the top of the left side of your screen.
