Video snapshot button in Skype 5.5.0.113 [ Edited ]

[dreamofdata]

Ever since I updated to Skype 5.5.0.113, I can no longer find a single button to click on to take a video snapshot in the call window.  

The only buttons that show up in the call window are Hide Contacts, Hide IM, Mute Your Microphone, Add particpants send files and more, End Call, Call Quality Information, and Screen options for this call.

If I want to take a video snapshot, now the only way I can find to do this is through the menu: Call > Video > Video Snapshot (requiring two hovers and one click, which takes a lot of time and meanwhile blocks my view of the caller's video because the menus are so large).

Am I missing something?  Is there any way to reactivate having a single, easy-to-find, one-click button (or keyboard shortcut) to quickly and unobtrusively take a video snapshot?

I would also like to know this answer to this question. My girlfriend has been driving me crazy asking me how to fix this!

Please refer to the screenshot below.  just click the "+" button, then select Take a Picture to take a snapshot.

Thanks Primemover, but this way of taking a snapshot still requires two clicks - and annoyingly, the menu only pops up right in the middle of the video -- right over the other caller's face!

this is one of several similar changes to the worse. (further, the "check yours speakers" warning also pops up right over the remote video).

you may reduce this nuisance by resizing the video window to maximal height. so the menu will pop up into the wasted space below the callers image.

Really hope Skype could fix this, I loved the Snapshot Button so much... I am now keep updating to see whether there is any change, now I have 5.5.0.117 still not there, not even a hotkey... planning to use the version earlier than 5.5.0.113... sad....
