Extras are little pieces of software written by developers to enhance Skype and give you even more features. We’ve been working with developers for some time to create Extras for Skype but with Skype 3.0, we’ve made it easier for you to download them.

Download Skype 3.0 and click on ‘Do More’ while in a call, on a chat or just looking for something to do. The Do More menu lets you see all the Extras available to play games, share applications with other users, record your calls, collaborate online through network sharing capabilities and much more.

You can also go to the Extras Gallery to download even more Extras and rate and comment on them for everyone else.

We’ll post more details about some of our premium Extras over the next few weeks so stay tuned for lots of insider tips about what they do, how they can make Skype even better and what you can use it for.

If you are a developer and want to learn more about how to develop a Skype extra and get it published, please use our developer resources such as the Developer Zone, the Developer blog and the forum.
