You can also share live streamed video on your screen, while simultaneously video-chatting. Users who are chatting one-on-one will also be able to screen share with live video streaming.
Mac users also have (via Skype 5.4 Beta for Mac) video rendering for a better video experience. There's also group screen sharing for Windows users(Skype 5.7 Beta for Windows ), for users with a Premium subscription. Until now, Skype offered users to see which Facebook friends were online, IM them, read their statuses and Like their posts - all from within Skype. Your friend can receive the call on Facebook. Then, select a Facebook friend, and use the video call button. The feature, which is now live for both Windows and Mac, allows users to make Facebook-to- Facebook call from inside your Skype client.įor this, you'll need to sync your Skype and Facebook accounts (login toSkype, click on 'Connect to Facebook'). It’s not clear if that would ever happen, but it would certainly be an added bonus for the social network’s 500 million users.While Skype already powers an in-browser video calling feature on Facebook, now you don't even to log into Facebook to call your Facebook friends, directly from your desktop. Skype 5.0 for Windows has some great new features, but one thing missing is any mention of Skype video chat coming to.
Skype has also added some other tweaks, including an improved full screen video chat to accommodate all those extra people you’ll be seeing during group video chat. The application will also offer you tips and advice to help you diagnose the problem and avoid dropped calls in the future. To improve call dependability Skype 5.0 will automatically try to reconnect your call if it drops. If you’ve used Skype for a while, then you are probably familiar with the annoying habit Skype has of dropping calls that go on past 15 minutes or so. Group video chat requires that all users are running Skype 5.0 for Windows. Skype group video chat will be free to all users until November 11. To add more people to an ongoing video call click on the “Add people” link in the bottom of the chat window. You can start a video call by clicking on Contacts>Create New Group and then drag your contacts into the Group space in the right pane of the Skype window. However, Skype recommends you keep most group video chats to five people or less depending on your bandwidth. Skype 5.0 for Windows includes a beta release of its group video chat feature that allows you to chat with up to nine other people at once.
