This means you can finally call, SMS, or IM contacts without first having to go through the process of adding them to your Skype contact list. For the first time, Skype 5.0 for Mac lets you turn on full integration with Mac OS X’s Address Book from the preferences. It’s a fairly minimal interface that feels all right (but not great) on the Mac.Ī left sidebar contains contacts, groups, and a Recent list that displays the contacts you correspond with the most frequently. Skype for Mac has shed the narrow-windowed “contact list” appearance-a staple of virtually every chat app on the market-in favor of an almost e-mail client approach.
Per Macworld, the new version brings Skype much more in line with its Windows counterpart in both features and interface.įirst and foremost, the interface looks absolutely nothing like its predecessor, and entirely like its Windows counterpart, which got the 5.0 treatment in mid-October. Late Thursday, Skype announced a public beta of its client for the Mac.
