Who’s available? – if you wish to sort your people list just by those who are online, you can always see who’s available by selecting people and then toggling between the options for all and available (hint: most icons and menus are selectable in Windows 8.1).Additionally, just like before, you can add people directly from search or when swiping the command bar. To add someone, just select the icon below, type in a name, email address, Microsoft account or SkypeID. New add people option– we’ve added the ability to add contacts from the people page.The update came out yesterday and if you’re on 8.1, you probably already have it installed. In related news, Skype updated their Modern Windows app for you Surface and PC users. Skype has all the potential in the world, so it’s great to see Microsoft finally starting to get some core user experiences right.
