from the well-skype-me dept.

Ars Technica:

Coming over the summer, Microsoft is going to add integrated call recording (something that previously required third-party applications and a deprecated API), read receipts to show when a message recipient has read a message, and end-to-end encryption of text and audio chat using the Signal protocol.

Microsoft is also making Skype audio and video calls easier to integrate into streams such as those used on Mixer and Twitch. Support for the NDI API means that streaming applications such as Xsplit and OBS can use a Skype call as an audio/video source. That means they can be overlaid on games or other content, just as is already done with webcam input.

Will the changes come in time to save Skype's userbase?

    People don't know this, @BillGates [twitter.com] isn't Chairman there any more. At MicroSoft. And probably he doesn't come in as much as he used to. He's very busy with his charity, his foundation -- like me (big savings on taxes). But, very strange if he comes in and they try to feed him dog food. Not nice. VERY VERY NOT NICE!!!! Jail time for chef?
