Download Skype for Mac



Version 2.0.0.6



I've been using older betas and the video seemed to work well enough, although the first beta wasn't 100% stable with video. I have never tried build 2.0.0.6 though.

my version 2.0.0.2 just quits itself while i was halfways talking. A prompt pop-ups indicating that it has quite unexpectedly. Does this happen often? how do i correct it or it's just a normal bug that most users of skype on mac face?

It seems that they've crippled the video quality on the PowerPC platform to address high CPU usage. Since beta 2.0.0.2 I've had intermittent connectivity issues... but it could be my ISP.

Edit: The screenshots on Skypes website are for 1.x. Don't know about the rest of you... but I preferred that interface over the 2.x interfact.
