Skype 5.8
Skype Ver.6.10.32.104
Skype is also offering a new group-video-calling feature. According to company data, about 40 percent of all Skype-to-Skype minutes were used on video calling. The logical step was to provide a feature that allowed users to chat with more than just one other person. Anyone who downloads version 5 will have a chance to test out the new functionality for free, though it will be a paid extra down the line.
The videoconferencing feature offers a few viewing options. One is the typical side-by-side screen with participants lined up in equal sizes. Then there's the more interesting dynamic view, which increases the size of the person doing most of the talking at any given moment. We got to check this out in a live demo and can see how it would be particularly useful for business calls.
The group video screen also prominently displays the relevant controls along the bottom, as well as a meter that measures call quality. Skype has added a call quality manager that gauges audio and video quality during calls. Automatic call recovery is another new feature that helps users quickly reconnect calls that are interrupted because of Internet connection problems.
Last but not least, Skype now has Facebook integrated seamlessly into the interface. A tab along the top of the screen will take you into your news feed, where you can update your status as well as start Skype calls with various contacts.
From Skype
Skype is software that enables you to make free calls anywhere in the world. Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you with other users. It offers several features, including SkypeOut calling from Skype to regular and mobile phones worldwide, conference calling, and secure file transferring. You can also now share your screen with other users. Skype calls focus on video and audio quality, and secure the calls with end-to-end encryption.
- Full HD video-calling: If you have Logitech C920 webcam, you will now be able to call your friends and family with HD quality video streaming. Logitech C920 does all the video encoding inside camera which makes it faster to process and stream the video. You will need to have at least 2MBps Internet connection in order to run the video chat in HD video-calling mode.
- Support for Facebook audio and video-calling (beta): Facebook introduced video chat sometime ago and now you can chat (Voice and video both) with your Facebook friends right within Skype.
- Group screen sharing: This feature enables one to share the whole desktop or a specific application window with multiple users. This can be very useful for conferencing and remote meetings.
- Hide offline Facebook contacts: Another feature related to Facebook. Now you can hide your Facebook friends who are not online. This will clear up the contacts clutter from the Skype Contacts window.
- Push to Talk: This feature has been introduced before but now it’s a part of Skype5.8. You can configure Push to Talk feature by going to Skype –> tools –> options –> advanced –> hotkeys
