Universal Skype with several people at once?

I’ve not done it but I researched it as a group was trying to use Zoom which has ZERO encryption on top of piles of security vulnerabilities, and anyway it looks like Skype supports either 25 or 50 people at once (I’m guessing it used to be 25 and got upped to 50, and some of the documentation is old).
If I’m remembering right you could just keep adding people to a call, and maybe even set up a link people could join? It didn’t look just too hard though I’ve not done it because no one talks to me ?

I am NOT including this to be a jerk, just hoping to be helpful, and I’m not sure which link might be best, but several look promising.

No worries, and indeed helpful 
Adding people after you've contacted the first person appears to be the way to do it. I hadn't noticed this option before.
So when you've established a connection with the first person you press the ... button at the bottom right where you get to see Add people. I haven't actually tried adding a second person yet, but did a chat with myself (two iPads in the same house) and noticed that option come up.
I hope to try it properly out soon.
