Download Skype for Windows 5.3 build 111

Skype has released an update to version 5.3 of its voip client for Windows. With Skype it is possible to communicate with other Skype users by means of text, speech or image, or a combination thereof, via an internet connection. Since version 5.0 it is possible to set up a video conference call with a maximum of ten people, but there is a Premium Subscription required. Furthermore, the Facebook News Feed is integrated into the program and there is Skype Home, a place where you can indicate your mood, change your profile and find new contacts. Four issues have been fixed in this release, including adding the test call to the contact list at every start.

Fixed issues:

• Contacts list – Skype was adding echo123 to the contact list on every Skype startup
• Video Calling – Skype video was freezing sometimes on group video calls.
• Friend Finder – Skype seldom crashed when adding a friend
• Skype Home and Facebook Channel – Skype displayed “script error” pop-ups sometimes to the user

Known issues:

• Skype Home and Facebook Channel Mentioned areas might not always load for user and display instead “spinning circle” animation.
