Microsoft has introduced a tone function in the Skype chat box, providing professional, casual, sarcastic, witty and other modes to choose from.

Simply put, when you start typing a message, Skype will give you a series of suggestions, similar to the experience of using Bing Chat to write emails and blog posts.

When you set the tone of Bing Chat and edit the message in the chat box, you will see a pop-up window that displays the results of the AI conversion in real-time. You can replace the original message in the chat box with the message written by the chatbot, or replace it with the message written by the chatbot. Send to clipboard for later use.

Additionally, if you suddenly change your mind as you write, you can choose a different tone and Bing will rewrite the message accordingly for you again. Of course, you can also select the initial text.

It is noticed that in addition to improving Bing Chat, Microsoft has also updated the way to share Skype profiles on the desktop. Now Skype will provide a new sharing icon next to the profile, and users can open the sharing panel with just one click.

In the latest Skype Insiders preview, the “Automatically download files” option is set, and users can no longer manually click the “Download” button after enabling it.

The Skype Insiders preview version improvements are as follows:
Seamless automatic downloads:

Tired of manually downloading each file? Users can open Settings -> Messages -> Automatically download files.

After users enable it, all files sent to you will be downloaded automatically. What’s more, once the download is complete, the system recognizes the file type and automatically displays a vibrant icon.
Remove redundant buttons:

In our earlier design, the file had a “Download” button, after downloading, it changed to an “Open” button.

Microsoft has simplified the process in the new preview. With automatic downloads enabled, just tap or click anywhere on a received file to instantly open and view it. This experience is consistent across all platforms.
Save easily:

While automatic downloads allow you to view files immediately, we understand that sometimes it is necessary to save these files to your device.

On desktop platforms, right-click to select the “Save As” option from the menu; on mobile devices, open the file and select the “Share” option.

In addition to the above-mentioned new features, the latest Skype Insiders preview version has improved the stability of the app and fixed multiple bugs such as the inability to call the camera in the Android version.
