Skype Preview // Global hotkeys are now available in Skype for Windows 10!

Available for the store app in the Microsoft Store
Version: 14.42.54.0

In our continued effort to match features our users loved in pervious versions of Skype, we're happy to share that in the latest Skype Insider update, we have global hotkeys available for the store app in the Microsoft store!

You no longer need to bring Skype to the foreground to reject calls, or toggle between muting yourself and unmuting. To reject incoming calls when other applications are in focus, simply use the Ctrl+E shortcut. While in a call, you can use Ctrl+M to toggle between mute and unmute, and use Ctrl+E to end your call.

These hotkeys will be automatically enable in your updated Insiders build, to disable, you can always turn it off under Settings.

Soon we'll have a shortcut for answering a call, stay tuned!

Try out these shortcuts and leave us your feedback on your experience.

How to receive the list of all global hotkeys in Windows 10?

Similar question on Software Recommendation. Whether there are programs which show all to global hotkeys in system? I establish hotkeys for the programs installed by me, but these hotkeys don't work. I want to look, what programs or system use these hotkeys and, perhaps, to change them.

For example, I use plugin Keymaps for Sublime Text 3. It shows, what hotkeys are established in Sublime Text 3.

Default hotkeys:

Plugins:

User's hotkeys:

Whether it is also possible to look in Windows 10, what global hotkeys are already used and than? Thanks.

New Skype Insider Preview build 8.36.76.26 available

Hello, Skype Insiders! We are rolling out a new preview build. Check it out and let us know what you think!

Store app version 8.36.76.26 for Windows 10 PC (14.36.26.0), iPhone, iPad, Android 6+, and Android tablets

Desktop app version 8.36.76.26 for Windows, Mac, and Linux

Web version 8.36.76.26

What's new?

New contacts panel: You've been asking for more control and customizability over your contacts, and we believe this is an important first step in giving you just that! Available for Insiders who are on 8.35.+ builds.

People You May Know: This feature suggests people to you based on mutual contacts you've added or chatted with on Skype.

Video Messages limits are now 3 minutes!

Possibility to add phone number to Skype contact.

Skype Presence Updates: We have brought back the highly requested Away state and added a new state, Recently active! Now at a quick glance you can see if your contact is online or not. If the contact is Offline you won't see a presence indicator on his/her avatar.

What's fixed?

Linux: Skype Preview 8.36 contains various fixes and improvements along with major Electron update. It should fix the issue Skype doesn´t start on Debian 9 / 10 / OpenSUSE.

Improve empty states that drive first action through adding contacts or starting a conversation.

Call UX accessibility: Add in-app shortcuts to query and announce local camera and mute status.

Simplify composing experience on Desktop by providing a consistent UI where users can intuitively share content (for Desktop & Web).

Check out the current version and please provide us the feedback here in the forums or in the app by (gently) shaking your device or going to Skype → Help and feedback. We can´t wait for your insight!

Heads up, we roll out small updates to preview builds as we get them ready for the general public. We'll keep this post updated as new features and bug fixes are rolled out. You can always see the current version numbers in the Skype Flight Hub.

Please note also builds are released slowly over time so you might not see new builds right away on all of your devices. If we ever stop a rollout because of the feedback you've provided, we'll let you know.

Thank you for all you do to support Skype,
The Skype Squads
