This feature will be attractive to business users who work remotely with colleagues and clients.īesides group calling and screen sharing, the new Mac version of Skype has a control bar that lets you mute or hang up a call if you have switched to another application. Screen sharing was already present in one-on-one calls, but this version lets you show documents, presentations and more to a group. This individual can launch a group call and invite multiple participants regardless of their subscription status. Group calling requires one member to have a premium subscription that costs between US$4.99 and $8.99 per month. The company has also posted a tips & tricks page of shortcuts for the Mac.
Version 5.2 includes features such as group video calls ( already present in the earlier version) and new screen sharing for its premium members. Skype has released a new version of its VoIP and video calling application for Mac OS X.
