Here at Digital Always Media, we noticed today that Skype is now running ads during calls.

While the ads aren’t appearing on every call, others have reported seeing them as well. When you click on them during the call they open up a browser window and don’t interrupt the call.

What is unclear yet is (since I’m using the free version of Skype) if people have upgraded to a paid premium version are getting the ads or not.

Are you seeing the ads? If so what do you think of them?

Personally, I love Skype and if that’s how they are going to make money and keep the product free, I’m all for it. Of course just as long as they don’t get in my way of using the product.
