Microsoft has announced a browser based version of Skype that will allow users to make audio and video Skype calls on any system.

According to PC World, Skype says the new beta web app will be rolling out very slowly to a small number of existing and new users, with a worldwide release expected in the coming months.

The software giant says the beta version of Skype launched for Web will allow users to log into their Skype accounts from all browsers, including Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Skype says it is working hard with the Internet Explorer team to create a plugin-free WebRTC version of Skype for Web, the report said.

Good update Bro.

Microsoft has released a test version
of Skype that lets people make
Internet calls from web browsers,
eliminating the need to install special
applications.

“It’s perfect if you prefer using the
web rather than an app: perhaps
you’re sitting at a computer that
doesn’t already have Skype
downloaded,” Microsoft said in a blog
post yesterday. “Or maybe you’re on
the go and using an Internet cafe or
hotel computer whilst on vacation
where you can’t download Skype at
all.”

Skype for Web will be available to a
small number of existing users at first
and will be rolled out globally in the
coming months, according to
Microsoft. Skype is used every day
for more than two billion minutes of
voice and video calling on the
Internet, the US technology titan
said.

Skype was launched in August 2003
by two Scandinavian technology
entrepreneurs, Niklas Zennstroem of
Sweden and Janus Friis of Denmark,
who expanded on existing peer—to—
peer networking technologies.

Skype, which allows its online users
to make high—quality calls to each
other anywhere in the world for free,
quickly took off, bringing the world
closer together in an age when
globalization and intercontinental
travel pulled more families apart
than at perhaps any other time in
history. Skype was made available
through free applications tailored for
computers, smartphones, tablets and
smart televisions.
