Receiving a new update after a long time, #Skype gained many new features. Officials emphasized that the latest revision of Skype is enough to win back users.
The update, announced by Microsoft in its newly published blog post, has also been confirmed to modernize "the most important part" of Sype. Users will now see a search phase during a search where they can see everyone in the main view. The company will enable video conferences to be turned into a grid. It would not be wrong to say that this design, which is already in use in video conferencing applications such as #Zoom and #Google #Meet, will also offer ease of use for Skype.

This brings all the participants side by side, including the main new interface in your own view. With this update, attendees will still appear in the video grid during the call phase, even if they're not sharing their video, i.e. when their cameras are turned off.
Previously, video previews in the top bar were pretty small when a participant screen-shared or turned on Together Mode. Now, the grids in the top bar have a larger appearance.
In addition to these, the app will also add a new layout, upgraded chat threads, and feature group avatars and new button toggles.
In addition, #Microsoft claims to have “improved the camera with Office Lens that allows you to capture your memories, create videos or scan documents, whiteboards and business cards in the smartest way possible”. Additionally, a new Meet Now tool is now available that lets you create and join Skype calls without the need to sign in, create an account, or have the Skype app. This way, when you click on a link, you can join an existing call as a guest and connect online. "If you don't want to deal with the tedious requirements of downloading an app, remembering a password, signing up for a new account, or keeping your call under 45 minutes, all you have to do is 'Meet Now'," the company said in a statement.
