This is where you’ll find other recently launched features, as well, including call recording and subtitles.Īlso new in this release of Skype for mobile is a redesigned calling screen that now lets you dismiss the call controls with one tap. To access the option, Skype users will tap the newly added “…” (more) menu in the app. Mobile screen sharing was first introduced into beta in April for testers, but is now available to all mobile users. More practically, it could be used to give remote tech help, like when your dad can’t find a setting on his iPhone (true story).

But it also could be used for fun - like swiping through a dating app while a friend gives their feedback, or for online shopping alongside a friend. The feature could be used for work-related purposes, as Microsoft has suggested in the past - like sharing a PowerPoint presentation. The company announced on Tuesday that its mobile screen sharing feature is now out of beta testing, allowing both iOS and Android users to share their phone’s screen while on a call. Skype is taking one of its most popular desktop features to mobile devices: screen sharing.
