Skype from Microsoft creates native support for Apple Silicon Macs

In order to fully utilize the M1 and M2 CPUs, Microsoft revealed that they are now working on an upgraded version of Skype just for Apple Silicon Macs. The program will function up to three times more quickly as a result. Apple switched from Macs with Intel processors to those with its own Apple Silicon chips three years ago. The M1 and M2 processors have not yet been integrated into all applications, yet. But according to a Skype release, Microsoft is working on a new upgrade that will provide an improved version of the application. According to the reports, this would give MacBook owners lower power, extending battery life. According to the firm, "Skype delivers faster and more dependable phone connections, so you can keep in touch with the people who matter most to you."

The community, particularly Mac users, has expressed a strong desire for a native client for Skype. With this new version, calls for both audio and video would guarantee smooth connection with friends and coworkers. The newest product from Skype is meant to guarantee optimum performance and dependability while offering an experience like no other. Users' experiences will be three times faster and more dependable thanks to M1 and M2 chips.

In addition, Microsoft Teams didn't initially offer native support for Macs until August of last year. Due to Microsoft Teams' increased use for business meetings and other work-related activities during the pandemic, Skype is gradually receding into the background. The software was still viewed as a "prosumer" app while showing a significant revamp of Skype with colorful themes and images.

The other platform offers integrations with the Microsoft 365 suite, whereas this one does not. As Microsoft Teams offers enterprise-level management and collaboration tools, it has essentially superseded Skype for Business, formerly known as Lync, for businesses. Since the early 2000s, when webcams first became popular, Skype has been acclaimed as the best online video call and instant messaging service. However, the platform lost some of its appeals, particularly once rival companies began to offer similar services as Skype. This includes the use of Zoom Meetings, as well as the integration of video conversations with other messaging services and social media platforms, such as Facebook Messenger, Apple FaceTime, and others.
