For a second release in a row, Skype for Android is focused
on improving the experience for tablets. With version 4.5, we’re bringing two
totally new features to our tablet users, as well as other improvements for all
Android users.
We’re very proud to share our first tablet breakthrough with
you: Skype is the first Android application to offer a picture in picture
window that lets you see your video call even when you switch away to other
applications. In the spirit of wanting to provide a common Skype experience across
as many OSes as possible, our Android team sought out a way to develop an
experience similar to Windows 8′s Snap View, but with an Android twist. Now you
can multitask while you’re on Skype video calls, as well as audio calls.
