Skype for Windows Skype 4.0.0.215 (hotfix)

Help > Check For Updates or download to get the 40 bugfixes, some to serious UI and device problems.

Known issues:

  • Accessibility features still not complete. Download 3.8.
  • Still incompatible with several Creative brand webcams and digital video cameras.
  • Skype slows on launch when you have many contacts and slows when your hard disk is busy.
  • Skype's backup feature doesn't restore manually-added phone numbers. Those same numbers aren't available when you log in on another computer.
  • Skype's Outlook integration won't import phone numbers without proper country codes but it won't show you the problems. So you have to identify the number problems and fix them in Outlook.

I've noticed when using the Skype Business software (skype.biz Windows MSI) that whenever I "check for update" it claims that I have "the latest version" of Skype installed. Even though I'm on an early 3.8. Is this an ongoing Skype software/server problem?

Icon indicating whether a contact has a webcam doesn't show after upgrading to 4.0.
