Who doesnât enjoy sharing special moments or indulging in time-gripping conversations with closed ones when tools such as Skype are available? Well as far as we know, almost everyone seems to have been swayed away by the social fad that weâre talking about. After unleashing several interesting updates to its standard app, Skype has now finally introduced its latest version for Mac entitled Skype 5.0.
Integrated with group video chat as a premium feature, the app will now enable users to conveniently engage in crystal-clear group video chat sessions. At the same time, those who grumbled over the appâs massive appearance may simmer down as Skype 5.0 brings in a refurbished look. Users should be noticing trimmed pixels and realigned things that simply make the app altogether more compact.
Featuring a beautiful, clean layout, the new version also stands distinguished for a nattily slaughtered window size. By taking advantage of which, users can keep their Skype to one side of their screen with a lot more of convenience (however, only if they intend to). The contact list has been tightened up as well, which will basically render 30 percent of more visibility for the contacts.
Besides the most highlighted feature of group video chat, Skype 5.0 comes equipped with a tweaked appearance of the way instant messages look. The voice-over-IP developer has now minimized the amount of whitespace, enabling users to see more of their conversations without scrolling. The treat for social networking aficionados doesnât end merely there. Interestingly, the company has also brought back the appâs full screen mode in video calls.
So if you want to return the call to the Skype window during a call, simply click the button in order to swap to full screen mode and click it once again. Along with it, chatting whilst hanging on a call has turned easier too. For which, yet again click the button and let the chat panel reveal. And if you want to hide it, just click on it once again.
In a nutshell, whether you want to speak with your distant loved ones, enjoy watching changes in expressions or love having loads of fun with group video chats, Skype 5.0 makes almost everything possible. And as aforementioned, there will be several other eye-catchy attributes too (which should leave you more than tickled pink). Right from a smaller window size, compact contact list with more space to a new look for the way instant messages appear, the app has got a perfect blend of all this time.
Whatâs more, the beta label has finally been taken off by Skype â thus, announcing the worldwide commercial availability. To clear the dust, you can now download Skype 5.0 as part of Skypeâs Premium Package which comprises live chat customer support. If you are somebody who wants to try the social tool without forking out a penny, its free trial of seven days is available too. However, you can even snap it up either a day pass starting at $4.99 or as a monthly subscription for $8.99.
