Hi,
It’s another news from Microsoft team. Microsoft which acquired Skype last year has released now online version of Skype. The top and most used VOIP service as moving all main software to web. As Microsoft has created online version of Microsoft Office suite and already Skype works on Outlook.com (formerly known as Hotmail) this is not a new information.
Skype Official blog has a post title “Skype for Web (Beta) Now Available Worldwide” with following brief quoted directly.
As we explained at the end of last year, Skype for Web is an important step for Skype as we move towards implementing the technology to make Real-Time Communications (RTC) on the web a reality. But just as importantly, we’re doing it because the hundreds of millions of people that visit Skype.com every month told us they want to call and IM when they visit our website. We know how critical it is for you to get to your conversations – and Skype for Web helps you get connected anytime.
Here are few screenshots we tried.
