Some of us can’t remember our coolest birthday card or can only recall that card years ago with the hefty stash of cash in it. Today, Skype is adding to the way we say happy birthday on Facebook with our new Say it with Skype Facebook app. The app will make your typical “HBD! Have a great one ☺” wall post go above and beyond what every birthday boy and girl expected this year.

With Say it with Skype, you can team up with bands and artists including: Ash, Body Language, Bowling for Soup, Charlie Simpson, CSS, Imogen Heap, Kill The Young, The Parlotones, and Scarlett Grey, to create a meaningful group video greeting that you can send to your friends on Facebook.

Here’s how it works, you can send your friends a customized group video greeting by visiting Skype’s Facebook page and clicking on the Say it with Skype app located on the left side of your screen. Next, choose the friend you want to send the group video greeting to and select from one of the ten participating bands. You can even join in on the fun, by singing along with the band’s pre-recorded performance through your video webcam. Not ready for your close up? Personalize your message by adding a profile picture and writing a personal message for the band to hold up.

Whether it’s Imogen Heap’s alto tenor, Charlie Simpson’s passion and tenderness, CSS’s unique Brazilian influence, or your very own vocal contributions, you can create an unforgettable group video greeting and liven up the way you say ‘happy birthday’ on Facebook. Once you’ve sent your Say it with Skype video greeting card, why not follow up with a group video call – try it free with our 7 day trial.

Birthdays just became a little more special with ‘Say it with Skype.’
