Microsoft releases new versions of Skype Windows and Mac with mobile interface design

­Microsoft has recently been testing a new user interface for Skype desktop apps, which borrows from Skype mobile. Microsoft today officially introduced these changes to Mac and Windows users. The mobile version of Skype, which was launched in June, was significantly redesigned, but users did not fully accept the change, so Microsoft has been adjusting some of the drastic interface changes, and Microsoft is now ready to bring these changes to desktop users.

­the new Skype application includes customizable themes, users can choose different colors, and chat lists are sorted by time, unread or status. There is also a new notification panel for managing topics, replies and missed calls in group chats. Microsoft now also enables the add-in for Skype Desktop Preview, which can add Giphy pictures or YouTube videos directly to the chat.

­the latest version of Microsoft Skype will be automatically available to users of Mac or Windows 7 Magi Windows 8 and older versions of Windows 10. The latest version of Windows 10 will soon receive updates to add new features.
