Skype Preview 8.94.76.421
The next generation of Skype is available in preview on desktop computers. We’re committed to providing a Skype experience you love, enhancing the way you talk, text, and experience the world—all from the comfort of your desktop.
For Mac and non-Windows 10 PC users, Skype Preview delivers most of the great features of our next generation mobile experience but is specifically designed with desktop in mind, to take full advantage of the larger screen. Skype Preview puts chat front and center—making this the most expressive Skype ever. Group chats are livelier with new features that improve your connection with friends and family. You can also do more together in group calls, with real-time screen and photo sharing.
Note: Skype Preview is intended for non Windows 10 computers, but if you want to install in Windows 10 you must right click on the installer (Skype-Preview-xxx.exe), go to Properties -> Compatibility Tab -> Select «Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows 8» -> Press OK.
We’re also previewing some features to make you more productive on your desktop. Try them out, let us know what you think, and share any ideas on how we can make them better.
- @mentions, message reactions and a new notification panel—Stay on top of your day with help from the notification panel. Quickly jump back into conversations where you were @mentioned to see how people reacted to what you’ve said.
- New chat media gallery—Finding shared content—such as links, documents, or media—in a chat has never been easier with the chat gallery.
- Enhanced group calls—Customize your group call experience with drag and drop ease. Say it with an emoji using our new in-call reactions, too!
If you’re using Skype for Windows 10, great news! We’ve already started rolling out some of these features. To learn more, check out the Windows blog.
Skype brings people together to experience more every day and make life a little simpler and more convenient. Start experiencing it for yourself by downloading Skype Preview for non-Windows 10 PCs and Macs today at Skype Insider. Skype Preview will install alongside Skype classic, making it easy to switch back if needed. However, we recommend running one instance of Skype at a time so that you don’t get duplicate notifications for messages or calls.
What’s New
- Android version updated to 8.88.76.303
- Windows version updated to 8.88.76.200
- Sharing is caring! We have added the ability to share files directly from File Explorer to Skype. The feature is part of the context menu of each file.
- Improved call controls so you can end an ongoing call directly from your Recent Chat list. Moreover, you will see the call duration here.
- Too many contacts? We have improved our deletion function so you can even delete multiple contacts right from the contact list. Just use the Shift or Ctrl/Cmd buttons.
- Improved subscriptions searching for iOS — now on you can search for any available subscriptions
What’s fixed?
- Skype is starting in foreground when it set to start in the background.
Fast servers and clean downloads. Tested on TechSpot Labs. Here’s why you can trust us.

Skype Preview is a multiplatform app which concerns us that the preview version of Skype has seen a new function arrive thanks to which it now allows us to save conversations that we have open.
An improvement that what it does to some extent is to improve our privacy. If we are talking and someone comes in that we do not want to see our conversation and do not be misunderstood this feature allows us to archive or hide that conversation but without it having to close it and thus lose its content.
Skype Preview enabled a new gesture if we use touch screens with which it is enough to keep the conversation pressed in order to make the option Archive conversation appear. Pressing chat disappears from the list of chats we have on all devices.
Skype Preview APK and Features:
- A video call option with 1 or 24 people at a time
- Chat with friends and family with Skype Preview
- You can share photos and videos with the app
Skype Preview gives an option to activate SMS Connect that could make it possible to use Skype on the PC to send and receive text messages from an Android phone.
With Skype Preview we could set default SMS client on our Android mobile so that the Skype app can be used to send and receive text messages.

Skype for Windows 7
Skype for Windows 7 is the most popular version of this program for Windows computers (this is due to the fact that Windows 7 is the most popular operating system that is installed on home computers). Except for checking checking the spelling of instant messages, Skype for Windows 7 supports all other functions and features that are available in Windows 8 and Windows 10. It’s no wonder, as these systems use the same installer.
Operating system:
Windows
Release date:
System requirements
Before downloading Skype for Windows 7 and installing the program on your computer, make sure that it meets the following system requirements:
-
Hardware:
- Processor frequency not less than 1 GHz
- A processor supporting the SSE2 instruction set
- Random-access memory (RAM) not less than 512 MB
- At least 250 MB of free disk space
- Speakers or headphones (if you want to hear the interlocutor)
- Microphone (if you want the interlocutor to hear you)
- Broadband Internet connection for making high quality calls
-
Software:
- Although Skype works on Windows 7 without Service Pack 1, in some cases (depending on the configuration of the computer), without this update package Skype will not work properly. Therefore, take note that if necessary, you will have to install Service Pack 1 for Windows 7.
- If you have Windows 7 Service Pack 1 installed on your computer, you must install the Internet Explorer 11 browser (without it, in most cases there will be connection problems). In other cases, Skype for Windows 7 will work even with IE8.
- If you are going to download version 7.33.0.104 and higher, you must install the free redistributable package Microsoft Visual C ++ 2015 Redistributable (otherwise there will be critical errors with no system libraries).
