Default Skype 5.0 is out

Skype has today updated the Windows flavour of its software to version 5.0, with Facebook integration as its headline feature.

Users will now be able to see their Facebook feed directly from within Skype, while Skype and Facebook contacts are now integrated. Any Facebook contacts also on Skype can then be called directly on their landline or mobile without you having to have manually added them to your Skype contacts.

Skype is waving the enhanced social experience flag with this update, and this is extended into video, as you can now call up to 10 people at a time, which could work well for remote teamworking. This is available now in beta as a free trial.
The above is only an excerpt. You can read the full article here.

I am a big Skype user myself and find it to be superior to Windows Live Messenger in a lot of ways. Anybody else use Skype? Have you upgraded yet? What do you like about the latest version? I like the sleeker, prettier look but will likely not make much use of any of the new features anytime soon.

My webcam hasn't worked properly on Skype ever since I upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 and now that Skype 5 is out, people can actually see me for a whole 10 seconds or so before my webcam goes obnoxiously dark again, leaving only my silhouette visible. Good stuff.

Default Re: Skype 5.0 is out

ive found a few problems so far
sharing your screen is pretty laggy :/ not sure why
also the show dial pad thing while in a call... i can press the buttons but i cant clear them or hit anything to make the call :/
also the call quality settings will go off screen if you have the window on the left border of the screen :/

old problem that hasnt been fixed: if using windows 7 the skype window has some issues with the windows 7 styles :/ usually can solve by making the window full screen then resizing

It's like oovoo plus FB. I'd rather use oovoo for video team calls, but then again it's not like I do it anyway, so no thanks maybe. As for the FB integration..

...

This is the only thing that I might find useful:

Another new feature is automatic call recovery, which hopefully will do what it says on the tin and re-establish calls that that been interrupted by dodgy Internet connections.
If it does well.
