Microsoft is pushing Skype 8 to all users
Earlier reports said that Microsoft would stop supporting the classic Skype application this fall. Yesterday, Skype and Outlook design director Peter Skillman announced on Twitter that the company is pushing a new version of Skype 8 to users around the world. It brings some new built-in features, such as long-awaited call recordings, as well as other new features and usability improvements.
We are now upgrading more users to Skype 8. Based on your feedback we added: Show Skype version on sign-in screen
Setting for a secondary ringing device
Advanced webcam settings
Separate Skype volume control on Mac
Setting for incoming call notifications for Do Not Disturb mode— peter skillman (@peterskillman) November 2, 2018
Microsoft has also made some improvements to the file’s drag-and-drop sharing options while improving the usable state on the desktop. Users can now add a number directly as a contact without having to save a specific number name.
