The new experience has three main tabs on its first page: Find, Chat, and Capture. With Capture will allow users instantly share their pictures or videos after editing it with stickers or written text. This is pretty much similar to what Snapchat or Whatsapp statuses does.
The Captured videos are shown to your friends and families in a new Highlights section. This is microsoft’s version of instagram stories which is called Highlights of your day. Users will be able to share their pics, chats, and videos through Skype Highlights for up to seven days and they can react on them with various options.
