Dumb Phone
TRWhat 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?

GBMicrosoft Filth Skype gets worse day by day. The app UI is completely unusable. Call quality is terrible - even on the fastest connection. They are unable to notify you when credit gets low so you are just cut off when credit runs out. Lazy, filthy Microsoft scum are unable to think rationally or act decently.

PHSince trustpilot removed my last honest… Since trustpilot removed my last honest review of skype I refer readers to their overal rating, less than two stars. You see microsoft that owns skype is too powerful for a little place like sitejabber to publish negative reviews even if they are true. Likely to be my last review on this site, not an honest site,imo. And they want to track and ID you because you cannot post without logging into your personal email. Try sitejabber, much better.

FIGood 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.

GBAwful 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.
