Skype claims that it has improved performance in key scenarios by 30% on desktop and over 2,000% on Android, with more improvements on the way as it continues to modernise its media stack. However, Skype will now display larger video feeds in the top bar, so you don't have to make any compromises. Previously, when someone shared their screen or activated Together Mode, the video previews in the top bar were too small to be engaging. On the calling stage, all participants will now be visible, even if they aren't sharing the video. It also adjusted the way the video feeds are rendered into a more natural grid, and no one will be left alone on the upper tray again because we bring you all together. Skype now allows the caller to find themselves on the main view during a call. Be sure to give it a try and let us know what you think! Skype says with this call stage users will get to experience the best video calling in the world. It is adding new layouts, beautiful theming, and other ways to help everyone connect more closely on the call.

Skype mentioned it is upgrading and modernizing the most important part of Skype, the call stage.
