Delhi : Microsoft, a technology corporation, has revamped Skype with fresh visuals, faster download times, and animated emoticons. For a better customer experience, the organization has also boosted speed and fixed problems.

With the inclusion of additional colour options and improvements to the theme colours from last year's release, you may now choose your very own favorite colour for Skype's light and dark themes. Now that the product prominently displays these wonderful, vibrant new colours.

The technology behemoth has announced a new mobile Skype talking experience along with technological advancements to increase the reliability and speed of each video connection. The company has announced that users will soon be able to use Skype and have 24-hour video chats with up to 100 people.

A new "Today" tab has also been added by Microsoft. According to the technology company, it would allow users to share personalized news articles and stories from reliable sources throughout the world without the need for a subscription.

Interesting to note is that the company has also included real-time speech translation to Skype. Real-time speech translation is reportedly possible with Microsoft, and artificial intelligence (AI) is used to make the translated voice sound like the original speaker.

In the meanwhile, Microsoft has started offering Windows 11 users a built-in screen recording capability. According to the company's blog post, Windows 11's Snipping Tool will shortly receive an update to version 11.2211.35.0. The upgrade for Windows 11 laptops will add screen recording capabilities, reducing the requirement for third-party programmes to capture the computer's screen.

Given that Snipping Tool is well-liked by the Insider community, we are overjoyed to include a built-in screen recorder with this release. The company stated on its blog that "Snipping Tool has always made it quick and easy to record and publish anything off your PC. We are extending these capabilities to even more types of information with built-in screen recording.
