<p>Whether you have a last-minute meeting on the go, or your dad doesn’t know how to use his phone—screen sharing on Android and iOS lets you get it done from anywhere. Maybe you want to shop online with your best friends, or you need to collaborate with someone on the other side of the world from the comfort of your couch—no need to drag out the laptop! Simply start a Skype call, tap the brand new “<strong>…</strong>” menu, and start sharing your screen.</p>
<p>Speaking of brand new, Skype’s <a href="https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/all/skype-insider-preview-introducing-an-improved/a34bc79d-dee9-4e3a-bd70-888888bc2d61?auth=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">mobile calling redesign</a> streamlines and simplifies the video call. A single tap will dismiss the call controls and let you fully experience the most essential Skype feature—a video call without any obstructions. Want to make it even cleaner? Try a double tap to remove it all. A single tap brings all the controls back, with everything you need the most at the front and center.</p>

This new menu allows you to access all our useful features, like screen sharing, <a href="https://blogs.skype.com/news/2018/09/04/introducing-skype-call-recording-now-you-can-capture-save-and-share-special-moments/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">call recording</a>, and <a href="https://blogs.skype.com/news/2018/12/03/introducing-live-captions-and-subtitles-in-skype/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">subtitles</a>—all while keeping your video call simple and clutter free.</p>
