New features that will benefit you
This update is good news for current and future users. Everyone loves Skype and everyone is familiar with its easy-to-use interface and functionality. Here are some of the new features that you’ll benefit from:
- You will get the familiar Skype icons, user experience and call monitoring.
- You will get improved content-sharing and telephony. For example, it will only take one click to transfer a call – not three.
