Only good Skype version I know is for OS X. Issues seem to be rare. Even it is not as good as it used to be.
Skype on Windows 10 freezes and crashes pretty often. It doesn't seem to like RDP with multi-monitor setups.
Android version doesn't always seem to update latest messages. It's presence indicators are also not agreeing with desktop Skype and often just plain wrong. Annoying when you're talking to someone who is 'green' and should be present and turns out they were not.
Overall, Skype has gone downhill for at least the last five years. No positive changes.
What would be a good replacement? Must be zero configuration, grandma usable, with good voice quality, ability to chat, to share screen and send files.

- zamalek 11y ago> Skype on Windows 10 Skype (for Desktop) continuously changes the sound settings (sampling rate etc.) on Windows 10 causing sound to no longer work; until I go and reset the settings to the defaults. Why the hell would it need to change the system-wide sound settings, just to play a notification tone?
- lsaferite 11y agoLately every Mac user in my office has had massive issues with Skype. It has become a horribly unstable application in the last few months. We absolutely cannot rely on it for communications anymore.
