Skype

Skype for Business Online is set to shut down next summer. Microsoft has several tools and resources available to help customers transition to Microsoft Teams.

Skype's latest update increases the grid view to twelve people that can be viewed at once. The update also brings custom backdrop support to Skype on Windows, Mac, Linux, and the web.

Microsoft rolled out Skype version 8.61 today. The new version brings several new features, but also runs on Electron rather than React Native.

The latest Skype Preview build shows that Skype UWP could be moving away from React Native.

Skype Insider Preview's latest update adds new features on Android, iOS, and Windows 10. Now, the Android version of the app can read your messages out loud through Android auto.

Skype calls can now show up to nine people at once in a 3x3 grid.

A new AI tool allows you to create living avatars of any image that you can use in video calls. You can calibrate your face to anything from the Mona Lisa to randomly generated faces.

Microsoft just rolled out custom backgrounds for Skype video calls. The feature makes it easy to customize your calling experience, though you can't get it on Skype for Windows 10.

After years of stagnation, Microsoft has added the ability to create Skype group calls through its GroupMe app.

Almost everyone I know has a Skype account, but pretty much no one uses it to message people.
