The\u00a0section you see during calls will soon include all attendees, whether they have video enabled or not. This makes it easier to see exactly who is on the call with you. Of course, you can shut this off and only see people with video if you want.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Microsoft is adding a great deal of customization to this view. There will be all sorts of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">theme<\/a>s and layouts you can apply to give it a look and feel that suits your tastes and your needs. You\u2019ll be able to choose from a speaker view, grid view, large gallery, Together Mode, and a content view.<\/p>\n<p>The new themes are nice and colorful. While colors won\u2019t change the functionality offered by Skype, they could boost your mood a little, as they do look quite nice.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of features, Skype is getting custom notification sounds, which are actually live now. There\u2019s also a new feature called TwinCam, which allows you to add your phone\u2019s camera to a call, but that\u2019s coming at a later date.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.skype.com\/en\/blogs\/2021-08-announcement-modern-skype\/\">blog post<\/a>, Microsoft talked about the importance of performance to go along with the design changes. The company said, \u201cWhile we love the design changes, we knew they weren\u2019t enough. We needed to focus on performance to make the experience delightful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The company says the desktop version could see as much as a 30% improvement in performance.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Skype_Rises_Like_a_Phoenix\"><\/span>Skype Rises Like a Phoenix<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Just when you think\u00a0Microsoft has fully shifted its focus over to Teams, the company announces a new Skype update that reminds us that it purchased Skype for an absurd amount of money.<\/p>\n<p>Are these changes enough to convince people to stop using Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and all of the other popular video calling services out there?
