Software Update: Skype for Mac 6.9

Skype recently released version 6.9 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. In version 6.9, desktop sharing has been improved, among other things.

With an ongoing goal of making Skype a great way for you to share moments, big and small, we’ve simplified the sharing experience. Now, when screen sharing on your mac, you’re offered a choice between sharing your whole screen or a specific window.

In addition, we’ve made the following improvements:

• Support for 3 additional languages: Swedish, Finnish and European Portuguese
• Toolbar search field improvements, including listing phone numbers for Mac contacts
• Mouse cursor renders as hand over left
• Bug causing name field to overlap mood message on some contact profiles was fixed
• Chat messages now always appear
