Skype For Linux Alpha 1.12 Progress Check

A few months ago Microsoft produced Skype For Linux Alpha and produced on a regular basis updates.  In general, it looks much better than the current version, much more up to standard comparing to their versions on other platforms.  It is basically their web app converted in an app and it is also the same version which Chromebooks will have or something similar as far as I understand.

The main problem which keeps many people from using the alpha, that video calling did not work at all, but since 1.10 video calling between Skype for Linux Alpha and Skype For Linux Alpha started to work, not yet with other versions of Skype.  In version Skype 1.11 much more settings for video calling appeared but the quality from the previous version crashed to the floor.  In this version 1.12, the video calling works well again.  That is the major change in this version.

The video calling still only work between Skype For Linux Alpha versions.

Please look at my video of this version and you can browse my videos for progress check of all the other previous editions and how to download it.
