The new Skype 5.0 is now available for Mac today in beta bringing a revamped look, simply navigation, Mac Address Book integration, and group video calling.
Group video calling allows you to make video calls with more than two people at a time as long as all participants are on the new Mac beta or Skype for Windows 5.0.
The new Skype for Mac also includes the following new features:
● New call control bar — Hang up, mute and more from a mini Skype toolbar that sits on top of any web pages, documents or photos you've got open
● Search chat content to easily navigate past conversations
● Offline IM so that you can send and receive instant messages even if the recipient is offline
● Personalise contacts via user profiles
● Quickly rejoin calls if your Internet connection fails momentarily
● Floating Contacts Monitor to see your online contacts and contact groups
You can download the beta from the link below...
