Skype 5 with Facebook integration sheds beta tag

Filed under: ,

Skype has just announced Version 5 for Windows. This version has been in beta for quite some time, and it's now officially out. Amongst the new features:

  • Group video - which is still labeled "beta," even though the app itself is final
  • Automatically recovering dropped calls - Skype redials the other party; from our experience, it sometimes intentionally drops the call when the connection is really bad, and then it redials to try and get a better connection.
  • Facebook integration -- you can call or chat with Facebook friends directly from Skype.

If you've been using the beta version, none of this is overly exciting. But if you're still using Skype 4.0, this is certainly a worthy upgrade.
