    Skype crashes on video calls (Sonoma 14.6, Intel Mac Pro 7,1)

    The Skype app reloads (seems to crash) as soon as I start or accept an incoming video call. Starting or accepting an audio call works fine. When I turn on my camera during the audio call it keeps working. However, as soon as the other end turns on their camera, my Skype app either crashes or...

    Skype stopped sending messages

    Hello community, Since today I noticed Skype's strange behavior.

I know I could use Skype via browser...

    Did MS just kill Skype?

    The new app always shows you online (even if you disable callkit integration), and the UI came straight from Alice's Wonderland (believe me it's not a compliment). Seriously, MS, it's not cool to allow your software developers consume LSD while at work! I simply deleted the app on all my iOS...

    Where did Skype disappear from App Store ?
