Skype’s
picture-in-picture feature is now available on Android smartphones
A new update to the
Skype app will now allow Android users to do away with the video chat window
and move on to something more intriguing.
The picture-in-picture
feature was already available on Android tablets but was long overdue on
phones. Microsoft is now introducing the feature on Android via the latest
update to its Skype app, reported PC
World.
The update will also
enable users to format text in instant messages and receive photos sent from
iPhone Skype users. It also includes the obligatory bug fixes that typically
come with a version upgrade.
Recent reports suggest
that Microsoft Office Online will now allow users to chat in documents
with Skype. Office Online will integrate a new feature
called ‘document chat’ which will allow users to chat
to one another and work collaboratively on documents. By simply
clicking on the chat button in the upper right corner, users can chat with
everyone working in the document, thus making it easy to communicate with
colleagues.
With Skype
available on smartphones and tablets, and with it being introduced to web
browsers recently, users can continue their conversations once
they are outside the document as well.
