said on the official blog:
“We’ve found that most group calls take place between three or four participants. When building the group video calling experience for modern Windows, we optimized so that the three most talkative people – plus yourself – are visible at the same time.”Additionally, the refreshed Skype client also provides improved functionality when chatting with multiple clients. For example, only one can be shown full screen. It also comes with enhanced multitasking capabilities, allowing the ability to run in Snap View mode, meaning users can chat with others while browsing the web, reading emails and all that. As expected, these new features are exclusive to Windows 8.1. So if you are still running Windows 8 and want access to them, you will have to upgrade to Windows 8.1, and then download the app from the Windows store here.]]>
Skype is awesome! I can’t get enough of it when I’m on the road. This feature will be very handy for businesses with 8.1 that want to do free video calling.
