Posted on 08 September 2010 by pinoytutorial

Skype is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the internet. It has been the most popular VOIP (Voice Over IP) communication used by many around the world. In fact, it has more than 350 million users worldwide. With its increasing popularity, Skype has just released the Skype 5.0 for Windows that can support up to 10 video callers.

The Skype 5.0 version is already available for download and comes with the following features:

  • Allows 10-way video calls – this feature will enable its users to get in touch with more of your families, friends and loved ones wherever they are. Your loved-ones needs to upgrade first to this version before you can include them in a group video calls.
  • Comes with a refreshed user interface- the Skype comes with a new and fresher look, it has also included Skype Home wherein you can follow your contacts’ mood messages, set your profile picture and mood message as well and receive account notifications.
  • Comes with better quality and stability- this new version comes with an improved call quality, automatic call recovery feature as well as a fixed number of bugs that could affect its stability thus providing a much smoother calling experience.

So far, the best feature included in this beta version of the Skype 5 is its 10-way video call feature. This is definitely better than the previous version since it fits larger virtual team meetings as well as mini family reunions. Since this is still a beta version, please take note that it can still be very buggy.

This beta version of the Skype 5 also comes with a free trial of the group video calling feature. You may video call up to ten of your friends and amazingly everyone on the call will be able to see each other just like in a real meeting.

It seems that the Skype 5 version is easier to use and provides a higher call quality. However, this version has also its limitations as well. Apparently, the Skype 5 version only works with Windows. In addition to that, to be able to make use of its 10-way video call feature all of them must upgrade first because it requires all of its group chatter to be in the same beta version.

Are you ready for the upgrade? All you have to do is get the latest beta version of Skype 5 and see how it works.
