The newly released Skype 2.5 for Windows with Modern UI focuses on improved contacts experience and adjusted sounds. Here is what’s new with Skype for Windows with Modern UI.
- New Add People Option
- Contacts can now be added from the People Page. Simply select the icon below and type their name, email address, Microsoft account or SkypeID. Also, like in the previous version, a contact can be added directly from search or even when swiping the command bar.
- Who’s Available?
- This is a handy feature to sort your contact or people list to show either only those who are online or to show all of your contacts including those offline.
- This feature is now available even if you have less than 20 contacts.
- Toggle between options of “All” and “Available” to see who is online.
- A Little Silence
- IM sounds for current conversations are, by default, turned off so you are not bothered by sounds for every little message that comes in to a current conversation. The result is hopefully some peace of mind.
- However, IM sounds are still available for new instant messages.
- However, if you want to turn back on IM sounds for current conversations, simply follow these steps:
- Go to Share Charm > Settings > Options > Mute IM Sounds in Current Chat
- Toggle to “No”
These features support the following operating systems: Windows 8.1. To maximize the latest Skype features, upgrade to the free Windows 8.1 version.
