#When did skype come out free
Skype was the king of the market, if you wanted to video chat you used Skype, now it hardly exists and I don’t understand why Microsoft are keeping it alive when they have a better solution in the market now that Teams is free to use. It’s such a shame that the Skype brand got so tarnished by Microsoft’s poor decisions making it lackluster over the years, 10 years ago when Microsoft made the Skype purchase literally none of those other solutions I mentioned existed except for FaceTime, and that was iOS only at the time. Zoom & FaceTime are usually people’s default answers with Teams & Slack being popular in the enterprise. The brand had such a strong position in the market but now when video conferencing is super mainstream and even necessary today, you never hear people mentioning Skype. But it appears as if Skype isn’t ready to throw in the towel just yet.ġ0 years ago if I knew there was a global pandemic going to happen in the future and we’d all be video conferencing as a necessity I would have never imagined Skype being an also-ran in the communications market, but here we are. I’m honestly not sure what to make of this, given the years-long push to improve Teams and bring it to consumers.

This Windows 10-only feature is being redesigned to be even lighter weight, easier to use, and better looking.īrowser support. And Skype will support vibrant new color themes. The left side panel in the main Skype window is likewise being redesigned with Fluent icons throughout. The chat header is getting updated with a new layout, a group avatar, and button gradients. You will be able to see yourself on the main view during a call, view multiple people with a more natural grid, disable the video stream, and hide audio-only participants from the calling stage. Microsoft is adding new layouts, beautiful theming, and other new features to the Skype calling stage, which is its weird name for the interface you see when you’re conversing with one or more other people. Here’s what’s coming to the walking dead:Ĭalling stage modernization. “We care about all of you, our Skype users, so we … plans for an improved, faster, reliable, and super modern-looking Skype.” “Skype has been in our lives for nearly two decades, and we are here to stay,” an unattributed post to the Skype Blogs reads. But now it says that Skype is “here to stay.” What’s so unexpected about that, you ask? Well, Microsoft has been planning to kill off Skype in lieu of Microsoft Teams for years. In an unexpected twist, Microsoft announced today that it is planning several new features for Skype, its consumer communications platform.
