With the COVID-19 epidemic, a video conferencing trend started last year. At this point, Microsoft became one of the companies participating in the trend. The company has made a surprising move here. Instead of promoting its service called "Skype", which it has had for years, it gave priority to the Teams platform.
Many people today, including Microsoft, may have forgotten the Skype platform. The company had launched its new Web app a while ago. Now, two years later, it brought Skype to the Firefox browser.
Firefox compatibility with Skype opens for Insiders
Currently, the Skype platform has a desktop application. The fact that it comes to the web browser provides an additional convenience. Because not everyone wants to go to the trouble of downloading the application just to search. At this point, the support of Firefox by Skype also pleased the users.
If you switch the Microsoft Edge browser from its own developed edgeHTML engine to Chromium, you can benefit from the new Skye for Web experience of browsers such as Chrome and Opera. Safari users on Macs had to wait until May of this year to be able to use Skype.
Now it's time for the Firefox front. Dr. According to Windows, going to the Skype landing page for browsers now allows you to use the functionality of the communication platform. This compatibility coming to Firefox is still available in Skype 8.78, which is the preview stage for Insiders. There is no word yet on when it will go to the stable version.
