Skype could’ve become WhatsApp, Zoom, or Discord. In 2010 it was in the prime position to win any of those segments.

  It was the "whatsapp" around 2010: everyone had an account on it, was using it's name as a word, ... and it was working really well at a time when it wasn't so common to use video chat, smartphones, ... The story only repeats again though, like MSN messenger almost a decode before. Which one will be next?

      Msn messenger was the first one doing video calls 20 years ago. I remember that, 56k dial-up modem, msn messenger and talking to randos on the other side of the planet.

    After Microsoft bought Skype they essentially rebuilt it on top of MSN messenger corpse
