Some users can try the latest version of Skype and you don't need to be part of the Microsoft Insider Program

We have talked many times about the Microsoft Insider Program. A tool with which you can access and test the latest improvements that the company adds to its different applications before anyone else. From Windows to Office, via Skype, Insider Program users are testers of the new versions that will hit the market.

One of the applications likely to receive improvements in advance is Skype. To do this, until now, you had to be part of the Fast Ring in the aforementioned beta program, a requirement that is no longer mandatory.So you can try the new version of Skype for Windows 10 that will arrive with Build 17704, even if we are not inside the Fast Ring.

A new Skype for almost everyone

This is the practice, because when starting the process on two different computers, with updated Windows 10 and two different accounts, we have found the same case: did not appear the option to test the new version So we do not know what is the process by which some users can access the Skype test. However, these are the steps in case you want to try and see if you have more luck than us, something that the colleagues of Windows Central have achieved.

"

The steps to follow to achieve this are first to start the application Skype and access the panel SettingWe must look for a link called “Skype App Preview” and an access with the text “Join the preview” "

By clicking on this link we will access a welcome screen where the program conditions are detailed, which we must accept. Then press the button “Join now”.

A new window notifies us that we have entered the Skype Preview Program Click on accept and all that remains is to download the most recent version of the application from the Microsoft Store. Once we start Skype again we can check all the improvements and new features, both aesthetically and performance, that this new version introduces.
