Multicast on Skype on-premises Server over MPLS
Can I use multicast for Skype meeting?
I have an on-premises server for Skype and more than 10 branches connected via MPLS.
we are having a meeting every weekend with our Technical Manager and he is just sharing the project plan and guidelines.
Is it possible to multicast the meeting instead of the broadcast to save the bandwidth?

No, each client will have an own stream. What you can do is use Skype Meeting Broadcast, with that you broadcast your meeting and users can view the meeting via a web browser, but it will still be one stream per client watching and you have to setup a Skype Hybrid with Skype Online. For Meeting Broadcast you can use network optimizers but I guess that is to advanced for this setup.
