Skype 5.0 for Windows released.

After a short time in beta, free voice, video and chat app Skype 5.0 has arrived. This is the kind of update you’ll want all your friends to get, as if they all have this new version, you can test group video calls.

The other big development is the introduction of Facebook integration. This is pretty big thing, as not only does it give you your news feed in app – anyone can do that – but adds call and sms buttons to any of your friends who share their contact numbers. If you’ve paid for Skype minutes, you can call your Facebook friends, and if they’re also signed in to Skype you can call them for free. My favorite new feature is the automatic call recovery – drop a call and it’s put in pause. Restarting it is now really easy.

Skype 5.0 is a big improvement, so head over to our review and download it now!
