Skype is set to gain a new look for Windows and Mac users

So, as we can see from the official notice, the new visual look won’t affect only Windows 8 users, but all users of the Skype desktop software. What’s interesting is that Skype will roll out the same update to Mac users, as well. However, at the moment, this is still in beta testing and we don’t even know how it could look like, so if you are one of the lucky ones to get the new look, do take a screenshot and let us know in the comments section from below.

With this in mind, we recently started testing a refreshed UI on a small portion of Windows desktop users. And soon, some Skype for Mac users will see the new experience, too. The new UI aims to bring a clean and modern look to Skype, providing you with a delightful and coherent experience across all clients. We’ll be analyzing test results, gathering feedback, and fine-tuning the experience before releasing to our entire user base. Stay tuned for more updates on the effort.
