Windows users that make use of Skype as their choice for voice over IP software are in for a treat as Skype 5.8 is now available and with it comes several new features. These features include group screen sharing, full high definition video chat as well as Facebook integration.
To make full use of the high definition video call feature, you will of course need to have a compatible high definition webcam and ideally, if the camera itself does the video encoding, then you will see improvements in the quality of your HD call. PC users that might be running on a slightly older computer will find even more benefits in this type of camera.
In terms of the Facebook integration, video calls will work for Facebook users even if they don’t make use of Skype. Essentially, to activate the feature, you only need to pick a person on your friend list and then select video call.
Lastly, if you have a Skype Premium account, you will also gain access to group screen sharing, a feature that will allow you to share your desktop or a specific app window with another user that is on your conference call. To round out the changes, Skype 5.8 will also bring the obligatory bug fixes.
