Changelog:

  • When sending an image in SMS mode, a message is displayed stating that only text will be forwarded.
  • Screen sharing of video now has audio enabled. Once the call is up and running, click the plus and select Share system sound.

A special feature of Skype are screen transmissions, which makes the display screen visible to all participants in the call. This feature has been enhanced to allow the optional transfer of the PC sound. To do this, you must start a screen transfer in the call and click on the + button. You can find the option to split system sound . This is definitely a useful addition.
