Skype 5 Beta for Windows has just released its new version, is now available.
About four months ago, Skype 5 for Windows was introduced in the market; which is a 5-way video calling and apparently satisfied its customers.
Now, Skype 5 is proud to inform customers that the second beta version now allows 10-way video calling.
According to Mashable, the Skype 5 Beta 2 for Windows offers a fresh new look, more stable; and with a better quality when making group video calls.
Skype Home was also added, where users can follow their contacts’ mood messages, set profile picture and mood message, receive account notifications and learn more about using Skype.
But of course, the star of the show is the 10-way video calling; which also includes automatic call recovery.
This feature will help automatic reconnection, if calls will be interrupted due to network problems.
However, Skype is cautioning users that this new version is still in Beta and bugs may still be present.
In addition, this 10-way video calling requires all users to upgrade their older version for them to be included in the group video calls.
This means they have to download the Skype 5.0 Beta 2 for Windows.
