How to make Skype screen smaller on Windows8 PC?

I don't want Skype to take over whole screen while talking. To see excel and presentation files are more important than watching camera on business communication.

I know how to split screen, but it is useless when you want to read something from the screen while on Skype. Have you tried to see tel number on IE screen and call that number on Skype? MS really needs to think through how Skype Desktop (work as older versions) is important for PC users who use Skype on business. I may be getting back to Windows7 just because of this poor design.

I have just installed "Skype Desktop", and this looks like and work like older version Skype. My problem solved. Thanks for the support!
