But... Skype does remember conversation history?

• fhood 9y ago
  Not the version I use for work. If you close the conversation, the history is gone, unless you fancy digging it up in Outlook, which of course you don't, because the way it is stored there is terrible.

    That's a setting. Your IT team may have chosen it.

    Just a guess, but you may be using Skype for Business, which is a completely different product with just a similarity in name.

      Correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business

      Teams is much better than SfB, and I think if your org pays for SfB it also has access to Teams.

    There's about 50% chance Outlook failed to store it too. Skype for business is really failing at the basics.

  Hm, I seem to also have issues with Skype history. I can't find a way in the new UI to go back more than ~6 months of conversation history. I lost an semi-important document that was shared with me over skype because of that.

    > I can't find a way in the new UI to go back more than ~6 months of conversation history. First, you'll want to make sure Skype is set to keep message history forever: Skype -> Privacy -> Keep history for... -> Forever Then, you can right-click on a contact -> View Old Messages -> 1 Year, etc. This is assuming you're using Skype, and not Skype for Business; they are not the same: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype_for_Business
