Skpye is updated and now integrates travel and entertainment information thanks to TripAdvisor and StubHub

There is a clear trend in recent times whereby applications that are included in the category of social networks acquire new functions which in principle have nothing to do with the objectives with which these apps were born. The most recent example is Instagram, which now allows you to purchase products within the same application.

The most recent example, but the arrival of new functions continues and now it is Skype that takes over. Microsoft's communication application continues little by little to receive improvements in the form of updates and now it is the turn of an improvement that comes from Microsoft, TripAdvisor and StubHub .

The goal is for users of the popular Redmond messaging and communication app to allow them to send and receive travel plans and suggestionsThese notices will take place within the application itself thanks to an improvement that will come in the form of a complement and that will thus become integrated into the Microsoft communication platform.

In addition, notices about shows will arrive

Another novelty that will arrive on Skype comes from StubHub, a platform for sports and concert tickets. In this way, users will be able to discover new sporting events and shows within the same application without the need for third-party applications.

"

To be able to access the new functions, the add-ons must be activated, for which we must access the + symbol and in it click on Bots, where we will find the two new additions ."

With these two new bots, users will be able to access the search for sporting and musical events, dates or locations from the same Skype application, being able to share it with the contacts in the calendar directly from a group chat of Skype with even access to photos and prices and avoiding having to use third-party applications or sending links via email.

The new add-ons will be available on Skype for Mac and Skype for Android and iOS devices and later for Windows 10. In our case we have tested and we still do not have them available with the latest update of Skype.
