Microsoft has released Skype 6.3.59.582, a new version of the popular video calling and instant messaging app for Mac OS X. The new version brings a cool slideshow feature for group calling, and a new in-call DTMF dial pad.
Users of Skype 6.3 on a Mac will now be able to see a slideshow of other participants in a group call when they are the current speaker.
According to the development team, “When you are the current speaker in a group call and someone else is screen sharing, you will see a slideshow of the other participants in the main call view.”
A brand-new in-call DTMF dial pad is now available as well. It generates DTMF tones.
“When you press the dial pad in the call toolbar while you are in a call with a phone number, the in-call dial pad will be displayed in the call screen,” according to the developers.
There are a lot of resolved issues in Skype 6.3 for Mac, as well as some that still require addressing. These are detailed on the Skype blog.
