Microsoft announced today that Skype is currently under active development, and the new version is expected to meet with you in the next few months. With the recent launch of Microsoft Teams for consumers, most people think that Microsoft will withdraw from Skype. However, Microsoft today revealed its future plans for Skype. The goal is to build an improved, faster, reliable, and seemingly super modern Skype.
As one of the important parts of Skype, Microsoft calls it the call stage. The grid displayed during the call in the new version will soon include everyone in the call, regardless of whether they have video enabled or not. This will put all participants side by side, including your own video on the main interface.
Microsoft has also added new themes and layouts to this view, providing some much-needed customization features for Skype’s main call interface. You will be able to choose between speaker view, grid view, large gallery, common mode, and even content view-you can choose to only show people who have enabled the video.
Skype’s new colorful themes will appear soon, including button gradients, improved mobile side panels, and smoothly designed icons throughout the application. Skype users without an avatar will also get a color gradient to make it easier to distinguish chat content.
In the team blog post: Although we like design changes, we know they are not enough. We need to focus on performance to make the experience enjoyable. Microsoft claims that its performance in the critical scenarios of the Android version has increased by more than 2000%, and it has increased by 30% in the desktop version of Skype.
Microsoft also promised to support all browsers in future Skype changes. The Skype team said: We believe that no matter what browser or device you use, the Skype experience should be seamless, accessible and reliable, so we are increasing support for all browsers. We want to make sure that whatever you What kind of device, platform or browser you use, Skype can bring you a great experience.
Some of these improvements are now live, while others will be rolled out in the coming months. Custom notification sounds are part of the new features in the near future, and the new TwinCam feature allows you to add a mobile phone camera to the call, and it seems that it will be launched in the future.
Microsoft is definitely paying attention to the extensive improvements of Skype. This is Microsoft’s latest redesign since it started adjusting Skype in 2014, followed by a Snapchat-like design in 2017, another redesign in 2018, which eliminated radical changes similar to Snapchat, and has since changed the desktop and The mobile application has undergone a lot of changes.
