8 of 25Please bring Skype back I loved it
I have been a Skype user since the beginning. Sad to see it being retired when there are still so many loyal members.
Was the first at home video conferencing software I ever used. Had a nice graphic design and UI which is still ahead of Teams.
Do no update!!! Iwish i can go back to the previous version where all my chats were stored now they’re gone
the BEST quality of all the instant calling apps ever………Thank you Skype for all the precious memories gave me………I am SooOooOooo sad………
skype bought me closer to my cousin during the pandemic and even now since he lives in texas. he is hard of hearing and skype is unique and accessible bc it has automatic captions during the call similar to youtube videos. im glad you have bought the captions feature to teams however teams is super laggy. its also a ui nightmare and doesnt let yoy change the ui color like skype. its had its issues but its overall a good product. i will miss it dearly. 🪦RIP 2003-2025
I wish to see you again, Skype
