Microsoft pushed out an update to Skype today that has a large upgrade in usability – Cortana support! Users can now initiate a Skype call via Cortana.
Commands like: “Skype call John Smith” will launch the Skype App and initiate the call.
It's still limited in scope
New update lets you have a video call without having a Skype account. You can start a chat through a link and can use it at any time as it does not expire.
With the sudden upswing of video conferencing needs due to working from home, Microsoft has decided to add a new feature to Skype.
