Microsoft has now started rolling out a new update to the Skype app.

The latest update to Microsoft Skype is headed to Skype for desktop. It comes in the Skype Insider Preview branch. It comes with build version 8.54.76.86 in the insider preview ring.

Talking about the changes that come with this build, we get some new features as well as bug fixes. The new update lets you send audio messages directly from the desktop.

What’s New:

Send audio messages from desktop: Hundreds of thousands of audio messages are sent daily from Skype mobile apps. With this update sending an audio message is now available also on your desktop.

Fewer bugs! Not that we are saying there were any bugs before. But there are fewer now.

Screen sharing on macOS Catalina: We have updated all the background things to ensure that screen sharing on macOS Catalina (10.15) works perfectly. Or, at least, works as expected.
