Skype 7.7 for Mac – Preview Web Links in Chat
Over the last couple years we’ve spent a lot of time revamping the chat experience in Skype. We first made significant improvement to keep your chats synced across multiple devices. Then, we refreshed how your chat looks- introducing bubble-style chat, inline photos and starting to display file icons on desktop so you can easily scan through and find different files in your chat history. With today’s release of Skype 7.7 for Mac, we’re excited to start rolling out web link previews, which makes sharing web pages in Skype an easier and richer experience.
With web link previews, you no longer need to type the: “check out this funny cat video” alongside the actual link to the cat video. When you send the link in chat, a rich visual preview of the web page is automatically displayed, making it much easier to see what’s been shared. Finding a link in your chat history also becomes quicker, saving precious time to let you focus on the conversation. To see the experience yourself, the only thing you need to do is to download Skype 7.7 for Mac. In the current implementation, we only show a preview if a web link is the only thing you send in a message. We also put extra focus on optimizing for video and image content, so we encourage you to try links to video, image or even gifs first. But we’re definitely not stopping here, so expect more improvements to come. Web link previews will be gradually rolled out on Mac, and then to other platforms in the coming months.
Other fixes and improvements in Skype 7.7 for Mac:
