Microsoft announced a few days earlier that Skype is waiting for one of the most serious upgrades in recent years: the once very popular application (but now it has given way under the pressure of competitors) will work faster and will noticeably change visually. Now it became clear what exactly would change.

Sad gray backgrounds will finally disappear – users will be able to set the background images to their liking. But it’s not just about static pictures: you can add live subtitles or, for example, animated wallpapers. Also new icons will appear in Skype.

Avatars of participants in chat rooms who communicate only by voice, without video communication, will be displayed differently: with a photo from the user’s profile and a custom background that can be added or changed right during the conversation.

Themes will appear in the chats – users will be able to choose color accents to their liking. Also, users will be able to change the display grid of the conference participants’ windows. For example, you can hide your own window.

Finally, Microsoft will improve the speed of the application. The desktop version gets 30% faster and the Android version gets over 2000% faster!
