The company has announced a new feature, known as "active endpoint" that will contain chat notifications to the device that you're using, rather than alerting every single device. For instance, if you're chatting using Skype on your phone, your computer and tablet will remain silent.</p> <!--break--> <p>From the Skype blog (http://blogs.skype.com/2014/08/20/skype-chat-notifications-rebuilt-around-you/?utm_source=feedburner&amp;utm_medium=feed&amp;utm_campaign=Feed%3A+SkypeGarage+%28Skype+Garage%29):</p>
<p>If you are signed in to Skype on multiple devices (a laptop, tablet and a smartphone) and you are sending chat messages to a group of friends from your tablet. Skype will only send new message notifications to your tablet and not to any of your other devices. All of your other devices will remain blissfully silent. You can continue to focus on the most important thing, your conversations, without being disturbed by the bleeping and buzzing from all of your other devices.</p>
<p>When you stop actively using a particular device, all of your other devices will begin receiving notifications once again. Active endpoint will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks. Skype encourages you to update to the latest version of the app on all devices in order to get the best endpoint experience.</p> <p>What do you think of Skype's efforts to reduce notification headaches?
