Bug fixes and stability improvements

While the latest Skype Insider build does include video rendering improvements on Android, iOS and iPad, Microsoft promises to add more video rendering improvements in future updates. However, it’s worth noting that the update is rolling out in a phased manner, meaning you might now get it right now. And if that’s the case, your should wait for a few more days for the update to surface on your device.
