No other IM client has that (The Skype team call these "presence controls", I suggest using the Win32 client so you can familiarise yourself with them). The status colouring, away is yellow, busy is red etc. The only problem I noticed so far is that I can't see my contact on the ongoing call pop-up window when I minimise Skype. Silly, but the classic call tone got a much needed remake. Screen and system audio sharing too, but I haven't tested them enough. It's now a text link, always there, which you can select and manually copy.Īudio and video settings look more polished. It used to be a button, which never pasted anything to the clipboard. Sharing my profile link to join a conversation, which never worked before, is now fully functional. You can even expand your own video to full screen and see how it looks. Video calls are awesome, you can fluently drag participants to expand or minimize their video to a tray. The only exception is that animations are still a bit broken or there are no animations on some places where you'd expect.Īll messages were quickly delivered to contacts I'd had problems with before. It's too early to tell, but it might be fixed.Įverything is faster than the previous UWP which was on v12 if I'm not wrong. My contacts and I were having problems with video delay as high as 5 seconds after the voice.

He sent me a screenshot and it really is, with no changes to connection, camera, lighting or anything else. My contact, who didn't know I had switched, told me right in the beginning how crispier it was. Image quality on video calls has increased A LOT. It's really a lot better.įor starters, I don't think it takes longer to boot up.
