In the last few months, we’ve been hard at work to make the updates to Skype for Xbox One* you’ve been asking for. We’ve heard your feedback, and today, we’re happy to share that Skype for Xbox One now offers a new Snap calling experience.

As you’ll remember, Snap makes it possible to experience two apps on your Xbox One at once – like watching TV while looking up sports scores in Internet Explorer. Previously, you could only Snap other apps into Skype for Xbox One. With this update, the reverse is now possible, allowing you to now Snap a Skype video or voice call into other app experiences. See your best friend’s face as you narrowly beat them in Forza Motorsport 5. Or watch your mom’s favorite movie while on a video call with her, the next best thing to being there.

With this update, you now have the option of keeping your games or movies as the stars of the screen. Once you are in a voice or video call, you can control the call within Snap, whether you want to add another friend to the call, turn the camera off or hang up, all without leaving your other activity.

Work out with friends on Xbox Fitness*. Using Snap, you and a work out buddy can train together with  Jillian Michaels, Tracy Anderson, Tony Horton of P90X®, Shaun T of INSANITY® and more.

If you want to make a group call, just add extra participants and everyone can join a group audio call to watch a movie, TV show or live sports together.

Along with the new Snap experience, this update also includes a few other bug fixes such as improved start-up time to make Skype for Xbox One even better.

We’re very excited to deliver an even better Snap experience to Skype for Xbox One. As always, we look forward to hearing from you on the Skype Community if you have any questions. And you can always find us on Facebook and Twitter to get the latest updates and share your thoughts.
