A few days back we were playing League of Legends and due to some permissions issue the person playing on Mac couldn't use the built in voice, so we swapped to Skype for a bit.
First: fans take off.
Second: Skype lowers all volumes of all other apps without asking.
Third: some people now have a weird floating bar in screen during the game, if clicked by accident the game minimizes.
Fourth: sound quality is horrible. How can a built-in, afterthought like Voice comms in LoL be better than a program written from the ground up to do voice calls?
Fifth: after the game ends the group has 3 spammers sending them a message since they logged into Skype.
Never again.

- mjul 6y agoRegarding your second point, Windows 10 has a feature to lower the volume of other apps when it detects communication activity. I got bitten by that using another VoIP client (not Skype).
