well, to clarify my last post, i choose to remain silent on the issue this time

Well it seems Skype has changed a lot with the new updates but that is part of being with Mircosoft. Still trying to get used to it even though I don't use Skype too often just some times. But it is good to have to call someone if you need to

Skype reduse some features with the new update or am i wrong?

i still dislike they've merged a whole bunch of unneeded things into it though

Here are some of the new features that come with Skype version 8.0

Free HD video and screen sharing calls
More productive messaging
Chat media gallery
Share photos, videos, and other files up to 300 MB at a time

sneak peek at more new features

Read receipts
Private Conversations
Call recording
Profile invites
Group links

They changed alot, even I gotta admit its not as good as it used to be. I think it still has an edge over discord though.

blame microsoft for wrecking it

Care to explain that one? What does it have over Discord. Yes, I am a discord user and love it but I am open minded and want to know how Skype still has an edge over them.

Well I haven't used it since it has changed to the newest version. It is still taking me a while to getting used to it. But it is just more new changes with Mircosoft adding in these new features which I am sure it is good for people who use it. But I haven't used it in a long time. I only use it some times to call someone in my family. But other than that I haven't used it to call any of my other friends on there. Since it seems only a few of my friends on there have the latest version of Skype. The rest of my friends on there probably still have the old version of Skype. But it is good to have to call one of your friends if you need to. That is my thoughts
