  • Microsoft has started releasing new features for Skype. This new feature aims to facilitate invitations and participation in group chats.

    Users of Skype for Windows, Skype for Mac, or Skype for Web can generate their own URLs and send them to other users to join groups or start chats. It is possible to be able to. The recipient does not have to be a Skype user and can receive the URL by email or by means such as "Messenger", "WhatsApp" or "Twitter".

    The release of new features is initially targeted at users in the United States and the United Kingdom. Microsoft plans to expand its coverage to other parts of the world "in the coming weeks," a spokeswoman for the company said. The new chat invitation feature supports instant messaging group chats, voice chats, and video chats.

    To invite other users to chat, Skype users can click "+ New" in the latest version of Skype for Windows, Skype for Mac, or Skype for Web to generate and share their own link. Invited users can automatically join a group conversation by clicking the link.
