Skype just got this handy new zoom feature

General News

Summary

Skypes new zoom-in feature aims to help users when someone has shared a screen with images that are too small to see. As ZDNets Mary Jo Foley recently pointed out, Microsoft is keeping Skype around for all those people who find Teams to be "overkill" for their needs. In recent months, Skype has gained lightweight versions of Teams features that Microsoft developed throughout the pandemic to catch up with Zoom. The Skype team has also fixed several issues, including one that caused it to crash after ending calls, the notification failing to open chat on the iPhone, and a bug that caused refresh when attempting to add funds to a non-empty account on Windows devices. The features are rolling out this week, according to Microsofts release notes for Skype 8.79.
