Microsoft will (again) transform the Skype interface

Microsoft Skype has been around for years. Its interface has often evolved and today, the giant Redmond has planned to do it again.

It is not long since Microsoft released the latest version of Skype , with its brand new design. However, it seems that the firm of Redmond has decided to completely recast its interface. The announcement was made on the Skype Blog, we learn that this new design will focus on simplicity.

Skype will soon change drastically again design

According to the official statement, " by gaining functionality, Skype has also become more complex. As with any feature-rich product, maintaining a certain simplicity while multiplying functions is critical in terms of ergonomics. This year, we explored several changes in design and took into consideration many user feedback that we had complicated some critical operations. Calling a contact, for example, has become more difficult and the Highlights have not really found their users. We needed to get off to a good start! "

One word of order: simplicity

Yes, Skype has become quite complex by multiplying its features, including recovering lost functionality en route in recent versions. When we know that Skype is from 2003, we suspect that in 15 years, the software has evolved greatly and functions have greatly expanded. According to Microsoft, it will include expected a simplified navigation, with a clear focus on messaging and calls.

Microsoft has also done its best to simplify the discovery of contacts while adding a "modern and fresh touch" to this part of the application. It will be necessary to wait to discover the version in question to know if the user experience will be indeed better but Microsoft affirms to have worked with its users to best answer their needs. Hope the result is successful!
