Skype has put on a new look across its desktop apps for Windows, Mac, and Linux. This latest design is to correspond with that of mobile apps which was recently redesigned too.
The latest version of Skype for desktop has been in a developing state for sometimes before yesterday. It’s now available for every single user out there. It comes with customizable themes and a Chat list that can be organized by time, unread, or your contacts' status. You can also Pin people or groups in front and center. You can use a standard or compact view and collapse the chat list to focus more on the conversations.
Skype is now lets you send files up to 300MB in size by just dragging and dropping, and it should use less battery power because it's cloud-based.
Reactions allow you to easily let people know how anything makes you feel, while @mentions make it easy to get someone's attention in a group chat. Status updates are back, and bots should help you make plans and stay informed.
The bell icon lets you access the notification panel which will show you what you've missed - reactions to your messages, @mentions in group conversations, or if someone quoted you. The chat gallery is there for quickly finding media, links, and files that have been sent in any specific chat.
