Windows 10 Skype app has been updated to a new version for Windows Insiders. The new version 12.9.565.0 brings many new features and UI changes along with itself.

Some of these features like notification panel were made available on other platforms already. Check the full changelog below.

Changelog:

  • Stay on top of your day with help from the notification panel. Quickly jump back into conversations to see reactions to your messages and @ mentions.
  • Control your presence – set your presence on Skype by going to your profile and selecting Active, Do Not Disturb or Invisible.
