Re: ? about Skype on Windows 10

I don't have a visual concept for this, but I do know that Skype UWP for Windows 10 is not a web-style app like Skype 8. Not sure which was being addressed by the original question.

Look Lino, You may not like the idea that we’re (as you say), bitching and complaining, but you know what? if I remember correctly, It is a free country, and we do have every right to do so. We’re not all technical geeks who can just make a big switch overnight. Upgrading the software is one thing, but there was no need for Microsoft to mess up the interface. They could’ve just upgraded the software and left the interface alone. Do you have any idea as to the hassel this is going to cause people now? I wouldn’t be surprised if the number of skype users were to drop significantly due to this, and if people decide to ditch skype altogether and switch to some other voip program I can’t say I wouldn’t blame them. They may be the largest corporate giant in the country, but it still doesn’t give Microsoft the right to just take over everything. Thanks for the Info Steve. I’ll be sure to check out those links.

Problems in updating Skype for iPhone
Michele Barbi
Hello guys,
I am encountering an issue in updating Skype for iOS to version 8.38, and apparently I'm not the only one person who gets it. Basically, even if it seems that the update went through, when I go for checking updates on my iPhone it appears again Skype. I am afraid the update has been badly uploaded in the Apple servers, since the situation is also as follows:

That's exactly what I'm doing shortly. In time, I'll figure out how version 7 works, what it does, or doesn't do. Time to move on, folks. At the risk of being unkind, Suck It Up. lol Just a few things I need to do to get things upgraded, a little

Re: Where can I get skype version of 7.4 from?

I agree with both Sarah and Doug here. I have a way better experience with Skype 8 and NVDA than JAWS 2019. I pissed some people off on a JAWS FB group cause a person on their was complaining about V 7.x. I went far as doing a quick and raw post on Paraiscope using both JAWS 2019 and NVDA with Skype 8. I’m just tired of all the bull crap on here and elsewhere. V 7.x is dead so lets move on and use Skype 8.
