minus-squareDiddlydee@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up112arrow-down2·2 days agoSkype died years ago. It was awful and rarely worked.
minus-squareKernelTale@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up42arrow-down1·2 days agoOnly after Microsoft bought it tho
minus-squarebizarroland@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up26·2 days agoYep, I was literally coming in to say that Skype was trashed the instant Microsoft bought it.
minus-squarejonne@infosec.publinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 days agoThe merge with the Microsoft account was never done properly and it means I’ve got like 3 different accounts that don’t fully work with Skype, Teams or whatever else you need Microsoft for. Good thing I rarely need any of them
minus-squareLedgeDrop@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·2 days ago… and that was the last Linux version of Skype.
minus-squareHubertManne@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 days agoI was trying to figure that out to. The original thing really got messed up. I swear you did not really need an account of any kind originally.
minus-squareTurtleTourParty@midwest.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 days agoIt was decent on computers but they never managed to make a good mobile app. And then Microsoft made it much worse on computers.

You may have confused it with Lync, the product derived from MSCommunicator and renamed Skype4biz. Regular skype was awesome; less so after MS swapped P2P for C2S but meh. Still better than teams, which, ironically, is where skype4biz went.
