Skype 5.3 for Windows and 2.2 Beta for Linux Download

The Skype software offered double news by posting new beta 2.2 version of the software for Linux, alongside the arrival of its version 5.3 for Windows.

The Skype beta version 2.2.0.25 for Linux arrives after a very long wait for users of this operating system since the previous version was dated August 2009. This update enables Linux users to have access to features implemented for a long time on PC and Mac versions, such as support for multiple calls, improved quality audio / video and access to Access, which allows Skype to connect through a WiFi hotspot and use Skype credits. The Skype Blog displays the complete list of features and fixes, as well as the link to download the software.

Talking on the side of Skype 5.3.0.108 for Windows, it is found mainly for improved video calls that can be received from a mobile device - smartphones, tablets - optimization of the interface in compact mode, better switching between SMS and chat or further improvements in the interface of contacts. Again, the Skype website gives full details of this update, available since yesterday.
