Skype For Mac Now Lets You Make Free Calls To Facebook Friends
Skype for Mac has been updated to let users make free Skype voice video calls to their Facebook friends as well as instant messages. This make it much easier to keep in contact with loved ones when you are not even browsing Facebook.
When you open the new version of Skype a new option will appear allowing you to look at your Facebook friends and it will give the option to Call them (see screenshot above). Friends don’t need Skype to answer the call, they can answer directly from Facebook.
The new version also incorporates your Facebook Newsfeed so you can keep up to date with what your friends are getting up to right from Skype for Mac.
In a statement a Skype spokesperson said: “Our approach to social is about personal connections with people. We are on a mission to connect over one billion people and our continued partnership with Facebook brings us one step closer to this goal. We’re excited about these new enhancements and we would love for you to download the latest version of Skype so you can bring your social network to life with Skype.”
Facebook and Skype first teamed up earlier this year, when Facebook added Skype video calling to Facebook Chat via a plugin. So this feature is not a surprise but it is definitely a great one that we are sure many will be love. For users of both Skype and Facebook this is a brilliant match as it with Skype open users can easily glance at what friends are talking about and chat to them about the subject without even leaving Skype.
