Skype is software for calling other people on their computers or phones. Download Skype and start calling for free all over the world. Skype is available for Windows, Linux, Mac, Symbian, iPhone, iPad and Android. The calls have excellent sound quality and are highly secure with end-to-end encryption. You don't even need to configure your firewall or router or any other networking gear. Now you can chat with your friends on Messenger, Xbox, Hotmail and Outlook.com accounts through Skype by just sign in with your Microsoft account.
New Features in Skype 4.1 for Linux:
- Sign in with your Microsoft account:
Starting to use Skype has never been easier. Just sign in with your Microsoft account and you are ready to go. After signing in with your Microsoft account, you will have all your buddies from Messenger, Xbox, Hotmail and Outlook.com available in Skype, making them easy to communicate with. If you already have a Skype Name, then you can merge the two and enjoy streamlined communications inside Skype with all of your friends on these services. - Instant Message with Messenger:
Now you can IM with your friends with Messenger straight from Skype. This is the first native Linux solution that allows this. - User interface tweaks to improve the experience:
We have tweaked the user interface a bit to improve the experience. The tweaks include:
Hotkey "d" added to invoke dialpad during Skype-to-Skype and conference calls
Pressing ESC will now exit full screen call view
Notification of unread messages in middle of the call
Differentiate between local and remote holding of call
In addition to these improved features, we have a few less visible, but helpful additions: - Implemented support for secondary logins:
Now you can run more than one instance of Skype on Linux simultaneously. Just add the "-- secondary" command line option to launch a second client. - Easier conference calls:
We have fully implemented support for the /golive command in Skype for Linux to enable you to more easily host conference calls. - Support for Skype URIs on Web sites:
Web site developers can build Skype URIs into their pages to initiate Skype chats and calls right from their web pages. These URIs are now supported by Skype for Linux, so when someone surfing the Web clicks on a contact list that contains Skype names or phone numbers, the URI will automatically launch Skype for Linux and initiate a call to the specified target.
