Hello, Skype Insiders!
We are rolling out a new preview build of Skype for Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Linux, Linux Snap, Web, Desktop app & Store app for Windows 10 PC today!
Check out the current version 8.35.76.30 and please provide us the feedback here in the forums or in the app by (gently) shaking your device or going to Skype → Help and feedback. We canīt wait for your insight!
In our latest Skype Insider Build, we have redesigned the theme picker and updated our colors!
We've simplified the theme picker by combining the theme picker and color. Within the Settings menu you'll find the added Appearance drop down to easily manage your experience in Skype.
Our new color gradients feature higher contrast, improved visibility and now give you the ability to control whether the color accents affect your message bubble or the bubbles of the people you're messaging with.
Thank you for all you do to support Skype.

One thing I notice...
the UWP Skype loads a lot faster than the Desktop version, (no pre-loading at all)
We are excited to announce cloud filesharing in the latest Skype Insider Build! With OneDrive in Skype, it is now possible to simply send a link to a shared document instead of transferring the whole file.
To share the links from your personal OneDrive,
- Open the chat with the contact you wish to share the file with
- Click on the + icon located on the bottom of your chat window to open the Content & Tools menu, scroll through and select OneDrive
- Select the file, or folder, you wish to share from your OneDrive into the chat
It's that easy!
If your contact is on a mobile device and has the application available, the file will open directly in that app, and not in the browsers. If your contact does not have the application installed, the OneDrive web site can preview most commonly used filetypes.
Try this feature out and send us your feedback!
