Skype today updated its app for the iPhone and iPad, and added several new features to the messaging platform.
To start, iOS users can now launch Skype voice or video conversations from within Office documents, including Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. This will allow colleagues to collaborate on work documents in real-time when needed.
The app already supports messaging between Skype users when in Office docs. The Skype app also makes it possible to save Skype videos to the camera roll for sharing via email, social networks, and other tools.
Skype for iOS is free to download from the iTunes App Store.
