Skype is Getting New Themes for iPhone and Mac Users

The video conferencing app Skype is redesigned to create a faster, reliable, and super modern-looking app. The company has launched new themes and redesigned the software many times in the past five years.

The company says it has been listening to feedback and, over the next few months, will start rolling out changes to modernize. The grid that shows everybody during calls will soon include everyone on a call, regardless of whether they have enabled video or not. This puts all participants side by side, including your video in the main interface.

Microsoft is also adding new themes and layouts to this view giving much-needed customization to the main calling interface in Skype. Users can pick between speaker view, grid view, large gallery, Together Mode, and even a content view with options to only show people with video-enabled new colourful themes will soon be available, with button gradients, an improved side panel on mobile, and Fluent Design icons throughout the apps. Skype users without avatars will also get colourful gradients to make it easier to tell chats apart.

The company is also committing to support all browsers with its future Skype changes. The team said that they believe the Skype experience should be seamless, accessible, and reliable no matter what browser or device you are using, so we are adding support for all browsers.
