Hi Everyone,
The latest Insider build 8.90 was fully released and this is what we were working on.
What’s new?
Skype Calendar extension added to the iOS Calendar's location of events on iPhone, iPad and Mac. You can now easily create a Skype meeting from your iOS calendar, and also invite others who are not Skype users, to join this meeting.
Auto-language detection for call subtitles and translation on all Platforms. If User A speaks English and User B speaks French, translation starts with en-US <-> fr-FR configuration. If User B starts speaking Czech, translation will get reconfigur to en-US <-> cs-CZ. User A will not notice any change, the translation will keep going to English. User B will start hearing translation to Czech.
View and scan a QR code on Skype, to connect more easily with friends and family on iOS, Android and Web. Tap your name at the top of the ‘Chats’ screen to view the QR code, at the top right.
Clickable messages that appear over a call participant, when in full screen view/call stage on all Platforms. While on a call, you can click the message preview that pops up when a call participant sends one, to easily navigate you to the message in chat.
Hints for new message reaction features on all Platforms. This should easily let you know when we release new features.
Support for Android 13 themed launcher icons on Android. Skype icons will align themselves to match your preferred theme.
Stability improvements
Bug fixes:
As usual, all new features are rolling out gradually over the next couple of days so if you don’t see them right away, just check again soon.
- Deleted the @ symbol on a separate line for mentions
- Hold call not appearing on iPad
Please let us know what you think about the latest changes, either here in the community or through the Skype app. You can always go to the Skype’s User Feedback channel to submit and vote for new features and ideas.
Additionally, download the latest Skype Insider build here if you have not yet, so, you don't miss out on these Early Access features. :)
Thank you,
The Skype Team
