Guide to Changing Text Size in the Latest Skype
- For Windows Version
Step 1: For the Windows version, adjusting text size in the new Skype is accomplished through keyboard shortcuts. For example, pressing Alt + V opens the View section on Skype, allowing you to quickly configure text size in the new Skype. Here, we have 4 main functions: Toggle Full Screen (use Skype in full screen), Actual Size, Zoom In, Zoom Out.
Step 2: If you use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + '=', your chat frame will immediately zoom in. This feature corresponds to the Zoom In function in the View section.
Step 3: Contrary to Zoom In, we have Zoom Out, which reduces the size of the chat frame and all displayed content. To use Zoom Out, you can utilize the shortcut Ctrl + '-'.
Step 4: If you are unsure about the standard size or the initial size, you can use the shortcut Ctrl + 0, which is equivalent to the Actual Size function on Skype.
- For Macbook Version
The feature to change text size in the new Skype on Macbook remains unchanged compared to Windows, except for the keyboard shortcuts. Here, we list the shortcuts for readers using Skype on Macbook to adjust text size in the new Skype.
- To reset to Actual Size, use the shortcut Cmd + '+'.
- To enlarge text with Zoom In, use the shortcut CMD + '-'.
- To reduce text size with Zoom Out, use the shortcut CMD + '0'.
Above are all the details you need to know to change text size in the new Skype. In essence, changing text size in the new Skype is simply zooming in and out of the entire Skype interface rather than altering font size as in the previous Skype version. Additionally, the feature to change font is not yet available in the new Skype, and we hope future Skype updates will address this.
In the above article, if you pay attention, you'll notice numerous shortcuts being utilized. Indeed, Skype has many quick shortcuts to help you perform various actions swiftly. Whether it's the new or old version of Skype, many features remain unchanged. Therefore, mastering Skype shortcuts is essential for anyone who frequently uses Skype.
