Will there be another way of communicating on the Xbox One? Maybe similar to the Xbox 360, such as party chat where video isn't involved. I don't really fancy being on cam to people I don't even know, haha! Thanks!

The "party chat" system is ran by Skype, and video can be toggled on/off.

If am not mistaken and sorry if I am in advanced!

Parties are powered by Skype i.e the sound and clarity you dont need to be signed into skype for this its just so players can have better clarity of sound and ect.

Also I think 1 to 1 video chat will work within game and out of games due to the Xbox One and its multi-tasking capabilities! But am not actually sure if thats the case i have been reading so many rumours and speculations about it.

But I dont think group video calls will work in an XBL party due to skype premium if you have the premium more then you can have multiple video chats in one sessions. Thats how it works on MAC/PC! I use it alot and quite often.

The 1 on 1 will work and will be awesome!
Co-op will be forever changed when you play with a friend
