It used to be a really good app It used to be a really good app, but the moment it became a part of Microsoft everything went wrong. First the interface, which is unbearable, then weird policies like security policy which no-one can understand and lastly user management, where you never know if you are looking in your phone book and looking for a Skype user ... Relatively simple and easy task, isn't it? But Microsoft (again) made it totally wrong - like everything.

What happened to Skype? This used to be a well functioning phone app that was a reasonably priced alternative worldwide when other phone services failed. Now it seems to be a Social Media wannabe that can't place a phone call. You can't even edit a contact entry. If MS wants to get into the Social Media game why didn't you just create an app instead of ruining this one? Weren't apps your core business?

Utter crap platform/service....wholly… Utter crap platform/service....wholly useless,in too many ways to mention! But one has to wonder about the HR professionals ability to recruit people who can design/service such software/app.Given up on it.

Awful interface.Settings either in… Awful interface.Settings either in wrong places or completely hidden. Grid views never work properly. Caller windows don't appear. People can't see each other. No clear idea why certain video windows don't appear on main screen as grid - or at all - but may still indicate as 'connected' via circular profile icons at top. It's a complete mess.

Good for audio calls I'm satisfied with the quality of audio calls. I don't use video though. Skype comes in handy if you have a remote job and need to collaborate with your colleagues. As for other purposes, the features may not be enough. For example, if I was giving private or group classes, I would probably prefer a video conferencing platform instead. But it's up to you, I remember Skype language lessons were extremely popular before the pandemic. Anyway, what you definitely can't do on Skype is send large files. There's a limit of 300MB.
