Note that this is the Classic version of Skype v7. If you've had problems with connection quality before then you'll appreciate the new call quality manager, which monitors performance during a call and provides help on resolving problems.Īnd while poor quality calls might be down to line or internet issues that you can't control, Skype now includes automatic call recovery, which quickly reconnects you when a connection has failed. This lets you have a video chat with more than two people, intelligently moving the focus to the person who's speaking so it's easy to follow the conversation. The program also currently includes a group video calling feature. And another click gives access to your phonebook, from where you can text or call your Facebook friends (free of charge, if they're also Skype users, potentially a real money-saver).

Skype enables you to check what's going on with your friends, add comments and update your own status.

Skype Classic is the previous release of the popular portable VoIP, instant messaging and chat tool.
