Key notes
Skype has become synonymous with the idea of VoIP programs, with the term skyping becoming a real thing.
Well, the program’s popularity has only grown, or at least that’s what we are to believe according to the Skype 2016 release.
Skype reaches an important milestone in terms of active users
The Build 2016 conference brought many new announcements for developers that will improve their efforts to build more functionality and features into their apps.
Microsoft also took the opportunity to announce some great news, likeWindows 10 having more than 270 Million usersandSkype being integrated with Cortana.
Microsoft also announced that Skype has finally reached the300 million monthly users mark, a great milestone for the program.
In addition to the new Cortana and Bots-related feature to be built right inside Skype, Microsoft has worked quite hard to integrate Skype deeper inside Windows after acquiring it.
With this number of monthly users, Skype has entered the league of some of the most used instant messaging and VoIP apps even if its numbers are still lower than the number ofWhatsAppand Facebook Messenger users.
Apart from this, Microsoft made several other announcements related to Cortana as well as HoloLens, which you should definitely check out.
