Skype for Windows Phone (beta) has shipped

  • Article

qrcodeThe product I’ve been working on for the past 6 months has shipped to beta on the Windows Phone Marketplace! It’s been a great project to work on and I am really proud of everything we’ve done.  Working with the Skype team in Stockholm has been a fascinating experience and something I feel privileged to have been a part of!

You can install the beta by scanning the QR code on the left with your phone or by following the link below on your device (note this won’t work on your desktop and will give you an error saying the app isn’t available in your region).

So what can you do with it you’re asking? Well all the usual stuff

  • You can view your contacts and filter them by all, online and your device phonebook.
  • You can view all your recent group and individual conversations. 
  • imageYou can start new 1:1 chats and new group chats
  • Plus you can also make both audio and video calls to individuals.

There’s plenty more in the app, so go and grab it and have some fun.  If you find a bug then please report it here. It would also be really great if you could ensure you have ‘Feedback’ enabled on your device so that we can respond to any crashes you may see effectively.
