Microsoft started circulating Skype 8.66 to all users less than three weeks after its release as a preview.
Οι σημειώσεις έκδοσης για αυτήν την τελευταία έκδοση δεν διαφέρουν από αυτές που κυκλοφόρησαν για την προεπισκόπηση, ενώ η μεγαλύτερη δυνατότητα να είναι η προσθήκη υποστήριξης για έως 100 συμμετέχοντες σε μια call.
With the pandemic forcing us to work remotely, video conferencing platforms are now very popular due to the need for remote collaboration and networking. The company's Teams platform from Redmond has the capacity to accommodate up to 300 participants, but Skype was limited to 50, to date.
Of course, Teams is for businesses and offers much more functionality for remote collaboration.
But small businesses, educators, and students using Skype for meetings starting today will be able to add up to 100 participants from within the app desktop with, on the web or on their mobile devices.
Furthermore, the new edition also fixed some bugs:
- New messages did not appear at the top of recent messages.
- Language settings changed automatically to English.
- Logout freezes in the Android app.
- Problems uploading or λήψη files.
- Problems with favorites that disappear in the Windows contacts list.
Microsoft says the release of the new version will be gradual, so it will take a few days for everyone to see the update.
