Skype finally brings picture-in-picture feature on Android smartphones

A new update to the Skype app will now allow Android users to do away with the video chat window and move on to something more intriguing. The picture-in-picture feature was already available on Android tablets but was long overdue on phones. Microsoft is now introducing the feature on Android via the latest update to its Skype app, reported PC World.  The update will also enable users to format text in instant messages and receive photos sent from iPhone Skype users. It also includes the obligatory bug fixes that typically come with a version upgrade. Recent reports suggest that Microsoft Office Online will now allow users to chat in documents with Skype. Office Online will integrate a new feature called ‘document chat’ which will allow users to chat to one another and work collaboratively on documents. By simply clicking on the chat button in the upper right corner, users can chat with everyone working in the document, thus making it easy to communicate with colleagues. With Skype available on smartphones and tablets, and with it being introduced to web browsers  recently, users can continue their conversations once they are outside the document as well.
