Skype Preview update for Windows 10 Production adds conversation hiding and more

Microsoft is rolling out a new update for the Skype Preview app for Windows 10 on PC and Mobile. The new production update adds the ability to hide conversations, among other new features.

Here's a look at the app's change log, which boosts its version number from 11.7.113 to 11.8.190.0:

  • Clean up your recent list by hiding conversations.
  • Hear people better with loudspeaker improvements.
  • Easily add new contacts with the add contact button.
  • Support for Skype URIs, a simple way for people to start Skype calls and chats directly from websites, desktop and mobile apps.

It doesn't look like this production ring update includes the SMS messaging or SMS Relay features that were recently added to Skype Preview for Fast ring Windows Insiders.
