Skype adds video!

By DarthTibault

At last a new bèta after the eBay purchase:
Skype v2.0 bèta is now a fact.

Apart from a few changes in the layout, new features have also been added. Stuff that caught my eye immediately are: personal messages that appear next to your name in the contact-list (much like in msn) , new ‘bubble’ sounds, and most important of all: video. Yep, they finally added a web cam feature. Haven’t been able to test it yet, but you can read a review on Skype v2 at latimes.com (you need to register, or use bugmenot ;) ).
I’m glad to see that Skype finally added web-cam support, because this will hopefully end all the misery with those 3rd party plug-ins (which really sucked).

    Heh, Skype just keeps on improving. I wish they worked on somethjng better for the Pocket PC Version but really i’m impressed with their continuous updating of their PC version. I was just about to post about the Skype Beta and then you did (great minds think alike?) :D
    I think i’ll call you now to test it ;)
