SnagIt customers can now send screenshots to fellow Skype users during secure chat sessions, providing an instant visual reference to improve communication and enhance collaboration on tasks such as building presentations, design reviews, technical instruction, or simply sharing online images and other content.
"Anyone who uses Skype and SnagIt on a regular basis will immediately recognize how well these tools compliment each other," said Peter Kalmstrom, Product Manager for Skype Toolbars. "They're fun, easy to use, and will considerably boost anyone's productivity and overall quality of communication. As a SnagIt user, I'm really excited about this new capture profile."

"Combining SnagIt with Skype is a simple-yet-powerful way to extend the productivity benefits of each product," said Tony Dunckel, Product Manager at TechSmith. "Just like we need emoticons for making our emotions clear over chat sessions, a SnagIt screenshot provides greater clarity to any topic of conversation by giving a specific visual reference, or by showing the other person exactly what you're 'typing' about."

Skype works across multiple file platforms so SnagIt users can send screenshots to people using Linux, Macintosh or Windows systems.
