The new features are coming to Skype thick and fast of late, with another just announced in the form of easy screen sharing from mobile device during calls.

Yesterday, Microsoft announced(Opens in a new window) that the latest Insider build of Skype includes the ability to share the screen of either an Android or iOS device. Sharing is as easy as tapping … and then selecting “Share Screen” which will take you through the process of allowing that display to be seen by everyone else on the call.

For example, you could load up a PowerPoint presentation, share the screen, and swipe through the slides while you talk about the content.
