Microsoft started circulating Skype 8.66 to all users less than three weeks after its release as a preview.
The release notes for this latest release are no different from those released for the preview, and the biggest possibility is to add support for up to 100 participants in a call.
With the pandemic forcing us to work remotely, the platforms τηλεδιάσκεψης είναι πια πολύ δημοφιλείς λόγω της ανάγκης για απομακρυσμένη συνεργασία και δικτύωση. Η πλατφόρμα Teams της εταιρείας από το Redmond έχει την τη δυνατότητα να φιλοξενεί έως και 300 συμμετέχοντες, αλλά το Skype είχε περιοριστεί στους 50, μέχρι σήμερα.
Of course, Teams is aimed at 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 mobiles Appliances.
In addition, the new version also fixed some things errors:
- 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 downloading 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.
