Skype as we know it is dead anyway. Just look at the trailers at the bottom of this blog post: https://blogs.skype.com/news/2017/06/01/introducing-the-next-generation-of-skype/ https://blogs.skype.com/news/2017/06/01/introducing-the-next... Just four years ago, everyone I knew was running Skype on their computers with various group chats (agencies, remote teams..). Now it's a very confused Slack clone. I'd say it needs to die in a fire, but I still like having SkypeOut around for the occasional communication edge case. I wouldn't be surprised to see Microsoft drop that feature, though.
