Skype recently released the build 8110 to Skype Insiders and the build comes with some new capabilities, including the TwinCamera feature.
The TwinCam experience is a new capability added to Skype, and the platform has been working on enhancing and updating its camera experience overall. For instance, earlier this year, Skype debuted new features for cameras that allow users to take pictures with just a click.
However, besides the TwinCamera feature, 8110 also unveiled new reaction emojis, an enhanced Stack Media Album, and other 2 new features previously not mentioned in the release build document.
We’re talking about an upgrade to Skype’s chat list, which should make the experience of chatting on Skype more streamlined, according to Microsoft, but also the addition of the new Skype Clips feature, which is very similar to WhatsApp’s video messages.
The new Skype Clips feature will allow users to record, and even edit short video clips before sending them away as video messages.
Unleash your creativity with Skype Clips, the perfect tool for sharing your screen and video moments, now with advanced recording features and editing powered by OneCamera, on Desktop platforms. 🚀
