Skype for Windows Phone receives minor update

[Windows Central]

Skype has received some love since the Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developers was released. Microsoft unveiled some handy new features to come and today we noticed an update available for the Windows Phone client. Unfortunately, it's not a major release and we're looking at only general improvements and bug fixing, but it's a bump in versions nonetheless.

What's really odd though is that it only integrates Skype contacts who are using the old user names and not Microsoft accounts, which means you can only jump into video calls with them, not people using the Microsoft account, from the phone call screen. If you have your contacts only show those from Skype, you similarly only see those with user names. Any work around for this?

Yeah, I ran into the same problem. Skype as an app works but it's not seamless from the call screen
