Skype which is a communication software for different platforms has released the full 2.8 version of its application for Mac OS X users.
Besides the main features of Skype which are free skype to skype calls, instant messaging, video calls, call phones and mobiles, send SMS and etc there are some great new features added to the latest version that includes:
Skype Access
This is a pretty nice feature and specially helpful for people who travel and use Skype. With this feature you don’t have to worry about trying to connect to public WiFi hotspots and punching your credit card numbers anymore. With over 100,000 supported hot spot locations you will just use your Skype Credits and pay per minute for the service.
Skype will just pop up a message letting you connect to internet in a public WiFi network (if supported) and charge you per minute on your Skype Credit. This is very useful when you just want to use the web for like 20 minutes and don’t want to pay for 1 hour as most of the WiFi hotspots would ideally charge you.
Screen Sharing
Now you can share your desktop screen for free with people you are connecting. You don’t have to type and explain what you are trying to say, simply share you screen and the person you are conversing with will be able to see how you use your screen.
Better Sound and Video
Significant improvements in audio and video quality compared to previous versions.
There are also some minor UI changes which are not related to the performance of the product.
