In addition, users could also record 5-second videos, dubbed Qik Fliks, that can be stored and used as canned responses. Skype explains that since the app was launched, "we have learned that many of you are already doing these things in Skype, and as a result, we migrated some of Qik's most used features into the Skype app you already know and love." "We've enabled video messaging in Skype and fun features such as filters, to make your messages even more personal.
