Welcome Skype For Windows 8: It's Fast, Easy And Beautiful


Recommended Posts

Posted

Skype for Windows 8 is almost here and we are incredibly excited by this important new version of Skype. This is our big step forward together with Microsoft to introduce a completely new [url="http://www.skype.com/"]Skype[/url] experience, which is designed to be always on, immersive, effortless and fun to use.

The team at Skype has been building on the Windows platform since the first release of Skype. With Skype for Windows 8 we've focused on how people are using Skype today, and re-imagined Skype for everyday communications across our global community.

Skype for Windows 8 is simple, fast and beautiful. View the video below to see a sneak peek of the experience:

[b]Focused on the people you care about[/b]
Skype puts the people and messages that matter most to you at the heart of our new experience.
Recent chat messages and calls are right there as you launch Skype alongside the people that you contact most often. We've made it simple and easy to add your favorite contacts so that they are only one tap or click away.

Skype has also made it even easier for you to call landlines or mobile phones directly, with a new modern dial pad. You can easily see how much Skype Credit you have along with active subscriptions and your recent calls all in one easy view.

[b]Always Reachable[/b]
On Windows 8, you can be always available and reachable whether you are using a desktop, laptop, tablet or convertible PC with Skype running seamlessly in the background without draining your battery.
You'll be able to receive voice and [url="http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/video-call/"]video calls[/url] and chats even if you've navigated away to another app or to the desktop, enabling you to stay more connected with your contacts whatever you're doing. Skype for Windows 8 will notify you about new calls and[url="http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/features/allfeatures/instant-messaging/"] instant messages[/url] so you'll always know when someone is contacting you.

Another beautiful way to use Skype with Windows 8 is to snap Skype side-by-side with other Windows 8 apps. Snapping Skype allows you to browse the web, photos or use maps while chatting with friends or family.

[b]Skype and the People app[/b]
Skype brings your contacts front-and-center and makes it easier to connect with them regardless of whether they are using a desktop PC, a laptop, mobile devices or even a plain old landline. We've extended Skype across your whole Windows 8 experience by also bringing Skype to the [url="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/06/13/the-people-app-the-complete-cloud-powered-address-book-for-windows-8.aspx"]People app[/url]. We think the People app is one of the coolest new features of Windows 8, and have focused on making it work hand in hand with Skype.
