“Chat with your Facebook friends... on Skype”
Skype Beta is the newest version of this popular VoIP app, now more integrated with Facebook than ever.
Just bear in mind - as it is a beta, it's not final and could still be a little buggy. If you'd like to stick with the stable version, check out the standard Skype review instead!
Besides checking what your friends are up to on the Facebook Wall – which you could already do in the previous version – this new Skype lets you interact with their posts by liking or commenting on them, and more importantly, use Facebook chat right from Skype. In this way you can chat with your Facebook friends from a much more comfortable interface.
Skype Beta also offers a few details about your Facebook contacts, though if you want to check their complete profile you’ll need to open that up in the web browser. Also, if your friends have included their phone number in their Facebook profile, you’ll be able to call them via SkypeOut right away.
Besisdes Facebook integration, the new Skype Beta includes improved call controls, which are now larger, more elegant and easier to use, and the ability to share the screen in computers with more than one monitor. On the downside, this beta is quite heavy on system resources, and very unstable as well – we had lots of problems while making video calls during our tests.
The new beta of Skype offers better call controls and an almost perfect integration with Facebook –but it’s still pretty unstable.
Pros
- Better integration with Facebook
- Improved call controls
- Share more than one screen
Cons
- Heavy on system resources
- Unstable
