Download Skype for Windows 5.6 build 110

Skype has released an update to version 5.6 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. The most notable change in version 5.6 is that advertising can now be shown during a call. Fortunately, this can simply be clicked away, without this having any consequences for the conversation. In build 110, the following adjustments have also been made:

Changes:

• Removed Google product bundling
• Added attribution of used third party software

Fixed issues:

• Click-to-Call – There was a memory leak in Firefox plugin
• General – Sometimes Skype crashed at startup on Windows 8
