Should I use a Skype beta release?

Beta releases of our software contain the latest features of our software, and are a great way to see what they are like before the official release of the software. As well as giving people the opportunity to tell us what they think of our software, it’s also a great way for us to get feedback from them.

During beta release testing, we make sure that everything works as expected, and we are confident that you will not experience any serious problems when using the beta releases. The beta release is still a work in progress, and it might not work the way official releases do, so please keep that in mind before you use it.
