New launch screen animation with the Skype Logo on Android. This new seamless launch experience is visible from when you launch the Skype app, until when your Skype app content is displayed.
Control your Skype-to-Skype call from the Touch Bar on Mac. Control includes; mute/unmute, toggle video, end call. Control is enabled: if the user is the call initiator, as soon as the call is initiated, and even before the other user answers and during the call. If the user is a call receiver, control is enabled: only when the call is answered.
Stability improvements
Bug fixes:
- If a user received a pdf with a long name, it would push out the share button from view on all Platforms
- Crashing when you click 'Translate' on Mac
- Account was 'forgotten' regardless of what you clicked in the Sign Out dialog on Desktop
As usual, all new features are rolling out gradually over the next couple of days so if you don’t see them right away, just check again soon.
Please let us know what you think about the latest changes, either here in the community or through the Skype app. You can always go to the
Skype’s User Feedback channel to submit and vote for new features and ideas.
Additionally, download the latest
Skype Insider build here if you have not yet, so, you don't miss out on these Early Access features. :)
Thank you,
The Skype Team
