Skype 1.10 Linux Alpha Restores Video Calls Support

Written by Michael Larabel in Microsoft on 10 October 2016 at 01:26 PM EDT. 45 Comments

Microsoft today announced the Skype Linux Alpha 1.10 release that brings basic support for video calls.

With the Skype 1.10 Linux Alpha release, there is support for 1-on-1 video calls. However, the big caveat is this current support only works between Linux Alpha clients. Support for video communications with Skype on other platforms will come later.

Those interested in Skype for Linux can find the latest alpha details via community.skype.com.
