*Skype Beta* is the newest version of this popular *VoIP app*, now more
integrated with *Facebook* than ever. *Just bear in mind - as it is a beta,
it's not final and could still be a little buggy. If you'd like to stick with
the stable version, check out the standard Skype review instead!* Besides
checking what your friends are up to on the Facebook Wall – which you could
already do in the previous version – this new Skype lets you interact with
their posts by liking or commenting on them, and more importantly, use
*Facebook chat* right from Skype. In this way you can chat with your Facebook
friends from a much more comfortable interface. Skype Beta also offers a few
details about your Facebook contacts, though if you want to check their
complete profile you'll need to open that up in the web browser. Also, if
your friends have included their phone number in their Facebook profile,
you'll be able to call them via *SkypeOut* right away. Besisdes Facebook
integration, the new Skype Beta includes improved call controls, which are
now larger, more elegant and easier to use, and the ability to share the
screen in computers with more than one monitor. On the downside, this beta is
quite heavy on system resources, and very unstable as well – we had lots of
problems while making video calls during our tests. *The new beta of Skype
offers better call controls and an almost perfect integration with Facebook
–but it's still pretty unstable.*Download *Skype 5.7 Beta* in Softonic
