Can't really compete with Skype on the entreprise segment (same with hangout) which is usually where the traction is for group video calls.
As to call your family or friends / it seems users still prefer to use their messaging apps as their first intent: be it Messenger, Whatsapp etc... So it would be interesting to see how this behaviour could massively switch towards video apps like Tribe.
Personally I'm still pissed by the number of texts and requests sent/received to/by my friends (now I even receive sms-requests from people I don't even know...). So I won't be using Tribe again. You can't hack growth using spams and then pretend it's a bug, we've all been through that process and we all know the story.
Good luck with the pivot, the technology (despite the crappy marketing) looks neat.
