Download Skype for Mac 6.3.32.105

Skype has released version 6.3 of its voip client for OS X. Where Skype used to only seem to pay attention to the Windows version, the OS X version is getting just as much attention these days. For example, video conferencing with up to ten people is possible and text messages can be sent to contacts who are not online. New in version 6.3 is that as a leader in a group conversation you now see a slideshow of the other participants and there is an option to show a keyboard during a conversation to dtmfto generate tones. The changelog also shows various bug fixes.

See a slideshow of other participants in a group call
When you are the current speaker in a group call, you will see a slideshow of other participants in the call monitor. When you are the current speaker in a group call and someone else is screen sharing, you will see a slideshow of the other participants in the main call view.

New In-Call DTMF dial pad
We have introduced a new in-call dial pad for generating DTMF tones. When you press the dial pad in the call toolbar while you are in a call with a phone number, the in-call dial pad will be displayed in the call screen.
