Microsoft introduces Skype call recording: How to use it

While Skype allowed video calling even before WhatsApp took to popularity, it did not allow you to capture, save, or share it. Now, Microsoft has added a new feature which makes it possible for you to store the precious video calls.

Starting this week, Skype will allow you to record calls. As explained in the official blog, the recording will be completely cloud-based. It is to note that the feature is available on the latest version of Skype except on the Windows 10 platform which will be getting the newer version of the app with the feature built-in.

This is how the feature will work; once you hit the record button, everyone in the call will be notified about it. Secondly, once the call is over, you can save and share the recording for the next 30 days. 

Microsoft recently announced the addition of Tamil 99 - the popular Tamil language virtual keyboard - to Windows 10 PCs as part of the latest Windows update made available in April 2018. The new feature works with both hardware as well as touch keyboards providing another convenient option for Tamil text input. While the Tamil keyboard based on InScript standard has been available on various Windows since 2010, the Tamil 99 keyboard adds to the number of choices available to Windows 10 users.

Standardized and approved by the Tamil Nadu government in 1999, the Tamil 99 keyboard layout was created to help Tamil users type in a faster and simpler manner. It is now available on Windows 10 to  users of both Tamil (India) and Tamil (Sri Lanka) languages, thereby assisting the wide base of Tamil users in India and other countries such as Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa and Mauritius.

Recently, Microsoft also joined Apple and Google in offering an app specially designed to aggregate news. The redesigned app for iOS and Android is called Microsoft News and will also power news on Microsoft Edge, the News app in Windows 10, Skype, Xbox and Outlook.com.

The app organizes stories into the popular format of thumbnail images along with headlines, easy to scroll through and select for the full article. Another modern touch, Microsoft News also comes with a light and dark theme, which can be changed depending on which is more comfortable to read, with dark mode often the preferred choice for evenings.
