- Coworker too silent in a conference call? You can't adjust their volume.
- Want to paste some code? Hope you like smileys everywhere! (This one alone blows my mind. How is this still a thing?)
- Want to send something longer than two twitter messages? Nope, can't have that! Please chunk it into separate messages.
- You receive an image. Why does it take three clicks before you can actually see it?
- How many Skype apps would you like? There's Skype for Business, Skype (the normal windows program), Skype (the Windows app)... Knowing the nonsense that is Microsoft's account system, you probably can't even communicate between them.
- Small hiccup in your connection? Video call now stays at crappy resolution. Solution? Switch to "show full video". Or back from it (cropped). Or fiddle with other unrelated stuff and pray. It's completely erratic.
- You chose "show full video"? Enjoy doing that again in 5 minutes when Skype decides it would really rather crop that person on the side of the frame.
- Trying to edit the middle of a message before sending? Enjoy our state-of-the-art "run spell check on the main thread after every character". Now you can type your message and then watch it appear on the screen in slow-mo over the next five seconds! (Not sure if this is 100% Skype's fault, but I haven't seen it elsewhere.)
That's all I can think of on the spot.
