My mom is not that great with technology. This means that when she wants to Skype with me now, she gets confused with all the new Skype garbage. This means I get a headache from trying to help her use technology from 2000 miles away. https://youtu.be/2nIwG5G55zo No one wanted this garbage Snapchat clone. Who the hell actually wants to send stickers when video chatting? It is just an annoying gimmick, and the new redesign alienates people who actually used Skype before by adding all this extra garbage no one ever wanted. If the desktop version turns into this crap then I'm done with Skype. Dear Skype team, stop doing stupid shit. #like #comment #subscribe. lol

Agreed, Skype has been a dumpster fire ever since MS bought them, and this further cements that status. The engineering culture is also possibly one of the most toxic in the Seattle area. Microsoft Teams came from the same org and that software is a piece of shit Slack knockoff that could only ever be somewhat viable as a free bundle to an O365 subscription. Classic Microsoft out-of-touch execs with a mid-life crisis thinking they know what's best for the customer, wanting to peddle shit to valuable millennial and Gen Z customers who have no interest in traditional MS products, and then delivering a pile of garbage that no customer actually wants. While Microsoft is crushing it in many areas, lots of orgs are circling the toilet, and this is for sure one of them. Just ditch Skype and use Facebook Messenger or FaceTime etc.
As someone who used to be proud to work at Skype, I am sorry :-/ the company went to shit 2 years to the dot after the acquisition... :-(
Crying about it will help? Send feedback
Crying helps quite a lot. No one is going to give shit about feedback unless there is enough fuss in social media and negative app rating.
you gotta admit they are impressive, for years now i've been thinking "this just can't get any worse", but every time they topped it ultimate kings of shit they should now all move to windows and impress us once again, as this time i truly believe there's nothing they can do to make windows worse, but i know they'll take this challenge and succeed once again
lol
I don't think the app is that bad. Its not very original but its still good. The problem is that its good at doing something other than what Skype was known for.
This video you linked is garbage...
Once the new ui was launched I stopped using skype. It's just BAD.
I think they just have to fire all product managers involved in Skype mobile - tomorrow!

As a messenger app I like it, I rarely used Skype for anything other than messaging/voice calls though. Video calls are few and far between for me personally.
Skype has been garbage for years.
