Microsoft has prepared a new feature-packed update for Skype Insiders. Version 8.110.76.102 is now available on supported platforms with two major changes: the ability to use your smartphone as an extra camera during video calls (TwinCam) and stacked media albums.
Microsoft says Skype"s TwinCam is perfect for tutorials, music lessons, or sharing something with your friend. You can activate the feature by scanning a QR code during any Skype call on your computer. Stacked media, as the name implies, lets you send several photos or videos and display them in a neat collage inside the chat.
Here is the complete changelog for Skype 8.101.76.102:
