As you may remember, Microsoft was working on adding a tray icon to their modern version of the Skype app. The latest version 8.36.76.38 of Skype Insider Preview finally features that long awaited change.
The System Tray icon will be displayed whenever Skype is running and will show a badge for an unread messages.
It adds the following features to the app.
The new system tray icon will:
- Be displayed whenever Skype is running
- Show sign-in and sign out state
- Show a badge for any unread messages
- Give the option to go to settings, open the app and sign in quickly from the right click menu.
The system tray icon feature should be welcomed by users of the modern Skype app. It is one of the most requested features.
