Dark mode has become a popular feature across apps and websites, and Skype for Web is no exception. Switching to dark mode can make your Skype experience more comfortable, especially during long chat sessions or in low-light environments.
Dark mode reduces eye strain by lowering the contrast between text and background, making it easier on your eyes during extended use. On devices with OLED screens, it can also help conserve battery life.

Follow these simple steps to switch your Skype for Web interface to dark mode:
- 1.Open your web browser and navigate to web.skype.com
