As a music student, like many others, I am taking lessons by Skype, during the pandemic. I record my lessons, so that I can note comments and ideas from my teacher and listen to him playing parts of the piece I am learning, for review during the coming week. However, this is less useful than it could be, ie. because I can see both parties on the recording and the screen is split, I can't see how he is placing his fingers of either hand on the classical guitar, which is crucial to my learning. It would be hugely beneficial to have an option to focus the video on one side of the video only. I think many guitar players of all disciplines would agree that this would be a very beneficial change. Thankyou for your consideration

Hello , My name is Artur Baryla. Few days ago it was my wife Birthday so i had an idea to ask our family and friends to sign up for skype and join me and everyone in group to sign a happy birthday all at the same time on skype video call . It was great and everyone loved it - had my wife in tears . Now some of my friend are doin same thing for there birthday coming up and more are signing up for skype due to covid restriction . My idea is that maybe skype would have a option for birthday call with nice set up and background of a cake or something like it and there maybe be option to "sign now " with a background birthday music maybe . I have a lot more to this idea to add if interested

Hello Skype Folks,

as many of you all i am looking for ways how to make life easier and how to simply it where I can.

Work Life Balance is a saying which many of us hope for but our technology does not really embrace yet. I am a small business owner and my personal and business life is overlapping all the time which is normal for people that live such a life. So time is money and money is always short. I want to use simple and practical services such as Skype that has the potential to make life simple. Very simple!!

So phone companies and carriers are offering functions such as dual sim so you can have 2 phone numbers on one phone. You can separate those by giving one number to friends and the other number to your business contacts, right!? With Skype you can also have multiple Phone Numbers at the same time. So similar feature but so far the Phone Makers and Carriers are a step or two ahead of Skype.

Product Feature Enhancement Proposal:

It should be easily possible to to add a drop down filed on your skype dialing pad (applicable to all Skype Versions) to select the Caller ID you are planning to use for your outbound call as a Skype to Phone user. This would increase the flexibility of Skype for many people and could even be applied in the small business world as a benefit to many business owners that are tired of either paying for to Cell Phone Plans and even worse carrying 2 phone around all the time. This same enhancement should be also considered for the voice integration e.g. Cortana or Amazon Alexa API to allow people to make calls with their selected Caller ID if they have more then one via their voice commands.

Easy programming creating simple but effective enhancements to the usability of Skype Phone as a communication main stream solution for a lot of people. Todays way of doing it (go to settings, Caller ID, Skype number and select your outbound Caller ID) is just not practical and a waste of time for any person that wants to keep it simple in their life. Just imagine doing it the old (current ) way for 20 times a day???

Thanks for considering this feature enhancement for Skype to Phone and I am looking forward to other peoples opinions about this feature request.
