Microsoft Maims Skype's Full Screen Feature – For No Apparent Reason
- severine 8y agoActual title: New Skype and Full Screen It's a MS Q&A forum. The top two answers are hilariously illustrative: > Q: I cannot find the option while in a video call to go full screen mode. I can maximize the window, but cannot go to full screen to remove the title bar and taskbar. Is there a way to go to full screen -- > Serds_P (Microsoft Agent/Moderator) replied Hi mapesmapes, The full screen feature is not built on the new Skype for desktop. I can take this as a suggestion for future updates. Let me know if you have further questions. Did this solve your problem? 6 people were helped by this reply -- > RockTrolls replied Who is the brainless ninnie who eliminated the fullscreen option in the Skype migration? If I wanted a 3-inch by 5-inch video chat, I'd use my smartphone for the call. I use Skype to actually have a decent view of who I'm talking with. Bring the fullscreen option back. Don't be an Apple programmer! Did this solve your problem? 92 people were helped by this reply
- drallison 8y agoMicrosoft seems hell-bent on creating a UI for Skype that will kill the product. I have been using Skype ever since it first came out. The user interface in the early days was simple and inferable. Now it's a crap shoot of button pushing and following links to figure out how to do something simple like making a call. Skype on Linux has a strange bug where sound quality of the telephonic channel deteriorates over time whether it is used, or not.
