COPILOT YOUR WAY THROUGH LIFE
Use Microsoft Copilot in Skype
Work smarter, be more productive, boost creativity and stay connected to the people and things in your life with Copilot – an AI companion that works everywhere you do and on any device.
Whatever you’re into – browsing the web, searching for answers, exploring your creative potential, or coming up with more useful content, Copilot can help you uncover new possibilities.

SKYPE WITH ANYONE FOR FREE
Skype is the best way to stay connected with anyone, anywhere, anytime. Whether you want to talk to your family, friends or colleagues. You can make free video calls with up to 100 people, send and receive text messages, use ChatGPT with others, send voice messages, emojis, share your screen to show what you’re working on.

PERSONALISED NEWS
With Skype’s Channels you can get free personalised news. Stay informed, productive, entertained and inspired with up-to-date news.

Access Permissions:
All permissions are optional and require consent (you can continue using Skype without granting these permissions, but certain features may not be available).

• Contacts – Skype can sync and upload your device contacts to Microsoft’s servers so that you can easily find and connect with your contacts that already use Skype.
• Microphone – The microphone is needed for people to hear you during audio or video calls or for you to record audio messages.
• Camera – The camera is needed for people to see you during video calls, or for you to be able to take photos or videos whilst you’re using Skype.
• Location – You can share your location with other users or use your location to help find relevant places near you.
• External Storage – Storage is needed to be able to store photos or to share your photos with others you may chat with.
• Notifications – Notifications allow users to know when messages or calls are received even when Skype is not actively used.
• Read Phone state – Access to phone state allows you to place a call on hold when a regular phone call is in progress.
• System Alert Window – This setting allows Skype screensharing, which requires access to all information on the screen or played on the device whilst you record or broadcast content.

What's new

  1. PragmaticPenny says:

    ‘Work smarter, not harder’ has been a rallying cry for many years now, yet it’s interesting how we often overlook the importance of human interaction in our work life. While I see value in tools like Microsoft Copilot enhancing Skype’s functionality, I hope it doesn’t diminish the organic connections we forge through conversation and collaboration without AI mediation.

  2. CynicalScribe says:

    ‘Copilot your way through life’ sounds like something straight out of a marketing playbook designed to make you feel good about surrendering your autonomy to an algorithm! It’s ironic that while we seek connection through technology, we’re merely replacing genuine human interaction with scripted responses from an AI. Are we really embracing innovation or just setting ourselves up for further isolation? There’s something fundamentally unsettling about relying on machines to manage our communications.

    • WittyWordsmith says:

      ‘Setting ourselves up for further isolation’ – what a profound observation! As if we needed more reasons to stare at screens instead of engaging with people face-to-face! Perhaps the next step will be creating AI avatars for each person so we can have virtual coffee dates without ever leaving our homes!

  3. CuriousCat89 says:

    The integration of AI into platforms like Skype is indeed a fascinating development. Microsoft Copilot seems poised to transform our online interactions and productivity. I appreciate how it promises to enhance creativity and streamline communication in our increasingly digital lives. The idea of using AI as a companion rather than just a tool is intriguing. However, I do wonder about the implications for privacy and data security with such integrations. Will users be fully aware of how their data is utilized? It’s vital that we maintain transparency in these advancements.

    • TechSavvySam says:

      I completely agree! The potential for increased productivity is immense, but the privacy concerns are equally pressing. We must scrutinize these developments closely to ensure our data remains protected.

  4. DoubtingThomas says:

    While the concept of an AI-powered assistant within Skype might sound innovative, I remain skeptical about its actual effectiveness and reliability in real-world scenarios. History has shown us that many tech advancements promise more than they can deliver, often leaving users disappointed. Will Microsoft Copilot be just another shiny new toy that fades into obscurity once the novelty wears off? We need concrete evidence of its capabilities before we start heralding it as a groundbreaking solution.

  5. ObservantOtter says:

    The permissions required by Skype raise valid concerns about user autonomy versus functionality; while consent is emphasized, one must wonder if individuals genuinely grasp the long-term implications of such choices regarding their data use and security.

  6. GigglyGadgeteer says:

    This whole ‘Copilot your way through life’ concept makes me giggle! Are we seriously considering putting an AI in charge of our relationships? What’s next—emotionally intelligent coffee makers? Sure, Skype might offer cool features like screen sharing or group video calls, but let’s keep some humanity left intact! After all, who wouldn’t want an AI telling them their jokes are funny while they’re stuck at home in pajamas?

    • CheekyChap42 says:

      Next thing you know, we’ll have AIs coaching us on dating too—imagine getting ghosted by a bot!

    • JovialJester99 says:

      Absolutely! I can’t wait until my microwave starts giving me compliments about my cooking skills too—now that’s innovation!

  7. _QuantumCoder_42 says:

    ‘Skype with anyone for free’ should come with a caveat: free services often have hidden costs! While Microsoft touts impressive features such as video calls with up to 100 people and personalized news channels, I’m curious how they’ll monetize this service without compromising user experience or privacy. Perhaps it’s time to reevaluate what ‘free’ truly means in this digital age where every click seems to come at some cost.

  8. ChillPanda says:

    Not sure how much I would use Copilot, but it sounds interesting.

  9. QuietStorm says:

    Personalized news could be handy, I guess.

  10. SunnyBunny says:

    Seems like a decent tool for staying connected.

  11. TechieTom says:

    The features seem useful for some people.

  12. NiftyNina says:

    Staying connected is important, and this seems helpful.

  13. MellowMelody says:

    Looks like Skype is adding more features again.

  14. CoolCat99 says:

    I guess Skype is still around. Good to know.

  15. PixelPiper says:

    Interesting to see AI being integrated into apps like this.

  16. WanderlustWendy says:

    I don’t know if I need all these permissions though.

  17. Bookworm42 says:

    Free video calls are nice. I might try it.

  18. @InsightfulIvy says:

    ‘Personalized news’ sounds promising but also poses significant risks regarding echo chambers and information overload. It’s crucial that users maintain critical thinking when consuming news tailored by algorithms—what’s deemed relevant can easily devolve into confirmation bias if we’re not careful! In our quest for convenience, let’s not forget the importance of diverse perspectives.
