Windows 10: New Skype for content creators feature available

Brink · Sep 14, 2018

Skype is used worldwide as a tool for bringing callers into a variety of different podcasts, live streams, and TV shows. Today, we made it even simpler to bring your incoming audio and video calls to life with the Skype for content creators feature.

Building off the Skype TX appliance for professional studios, we built the feature directly into the desktop app, so podcasters, vloggers, and live streamers can bring Skype calls directly into their content without the need for expensive equipment, studio setup, or multiple crew members.

From a one-on-one audio call up to a four-person group video—incoming calls are available for you to build your own content by integrating Skype calls.

The feature uses NewTek NDI®. You need an NDI-enabled application or device to use Skype for content creators.

There are a number of NDI-enabled software and appliances to choose from,* including:

NewTek TriCaster®

Xsplit

OBS with NDI plugin

Pro presenter

Wirecast

vMIX

Ecamm Live for Mac

Ovrstream

You will be able to edit, brand, and distribute your Skype content, which can then be sent to a group of friends, uploaded as a podcast or vlog, or live streamed to an audience of millions using platforms such as Facebook, YouTube, Twitch, and LinkedIn.

Skype for content creators is now available on the latest version of Skype for Windows and Mac. Visit Skype for content creators to learn more. We would love to hear from and see what you have created using this feature; email us at L: sfcc@microsoft.com.

Now in preview, Skype for Content Creators

We have an exciting few days ahead as this weekend the Skype team will receive the Emmy® Award for Technology & Engineering at the ceremony in Las Vegas.

With Emmy in hand, you’ll find us at the NAB Show from April 9–12, in Booth SL6716, where we will announce our next innovation for Skype—which will put content creation at the heart of the Skype for Desktop app.

Now in preview, Skype for Content Creators is designed to open new interactive possibilities for our users all over the world—including leading digital broadcasters, streamers, and vloggers—to record videos, podcasts, and live streaming calls without having to invest in expensive studio equipment.

With Skype for Content Creators, Windows 10 and Mac users will be able to select the Content Creators mode to place and record calls directly within NDI®–enabled software such as:

Wirecast

Xsplit

Vmix

Once the call is recorded, content can be easily imported into apps such as Adobe Premier Pro and Adobe Audition for editing. In addition, users can customize the look and feel of the call—so they can be part of a live show ready for streaming to audiences of all sizes.

There’s no need for additional recording or screen capture solutions. Skype will provide clean feeds of all group video call participants to your choice of NDI®-enabled software, dramatically simplifying the process of using Skype within collaborative content.

Skype now unlocks the content from within the Skype for Desktop app, making it easier than ever to use the audio and video to create collaborative, engaging content with as little as two steps from setting up the call to livestreaming your call to a platform of your choice.

For more information and demonstrations of Skype for Content Creators, please visit us at NAB in Las Vegas April 9–12 (Booth SL6716). We look forward to seeing you there!

Skype for Content Creators will be generally available this summer for Windows 10 and Mac users. Your input will help shape the future of this feature. To provide feedback, please visit the Skype community.

Skype goes mobile!

Well, this step was just a matter of time. Skype is now available for Mobile phones. It is even compatible to SkypeOut. It needs a bluetooth phone as it seems, since the article mentions this for the use of the software. No further details on how the software is made, and what kind of software support is needed by the phone. But I am sure that all the info can be found at the creator's website: EpyxMobile.
