Re: Question about adding callers to a conference
I almost think that somewhere is a mistake. Some of
the callers might be put on hold for more times for each new caller that wants
to join the conversation, which is strange.
MS probably have a reason to do this, for example
for avoiding the possibility of calling somebody and then discovering too late
that the person that answers is engaged in a conference, or other similar
privacy things, but using this strange way is not a good solution.

Here is what Skype support said:
Skype Support, When you're on call, and someone
tried to call you, click the Answer button. The current call will be put
on hold. On the new call, to add the previous person that you're talking
to (that was on hold), click the + button, then you will see your
Contacts. Choose his/her name, then click Add. The previous person that
you're talking to should accept your invitation for a conference call.
In order to learn it we’ll have to play with it!

Thanks for that information. If this capability has been removed,
that's a big step backward. What good is a conferencing platform if
incoming callers can't be added to an ongoing call? I presume creating a
group conversation requires one person to call everyone else? That's not
how it used to be. One more way Skype's starting to slide down that
slippery slope into the category of unwantedness.

Thanks very much for this. It's reverse from version 7, where
the second caller is added when the call is answered.

Well, lookslike the support person made a mistake, or this is some
kind of prink, I'd love to believe the former. Anyway it is now
09-04-2018 and skype classic according to my twittervillions is still
working. So we'll see what happened. I'm surprised that no one got an
answer back from Skype support regarding this tweet. Did no one reply
to said tweet at all?
Take care and have a happy tuesday.

Good morning All,
If I read the MS public notice correctly they never said Skype 7 was going
away on Sept 1.
They more clearly said they will no longer support it.
That doesn't mean it will grind to a halt and stop working it just means
don't go to them with questions about it.
Remember they stopped "Supporting" XP years ago but our old XP machines
still work.
Regarding the upgrade message that comes up during Skype 7 cessions, I
learned to just ignore it and what I did was to hit "CTRL 2" key combo and
go right to my new messages or what ever function I wished to use.
One just has to be careful that you always be sure you are not on the
update
screen or you could accidently start the downloading process of Skype 8.
Even then it's not the end of the world you can cancel out of the process
fairly easily and stop it from happening.
When I read the helpful responses here in the group to those of us who are
having problems I'm very much put at ease that what ever I or anyone else
runs into Doug Lee and others here will come up with a fix for it.
All stay well,
Mike in SC

Good evening all,
I thought this topic of Skype 7 going away September 1st was debunked as a
roomer, and the April 2019 target date was still in place?
But in any case, from the conversations we have seen hear in our group,
Skype 8. is workable as a valid upgrade with only a few minor glitches.
Either way I've been planning to up grade this weekend since Skype 7 is
going away anyhow eventually I don't see the wisdom in putting off the
inevitable until April next year when we all would be forced into the
change
anyway.
Between Doug Lee's advice and what we share openly between all our capable
members this is just another one of those transitions we go through from
time to time until we get to the other side an put all our concerns behind
us.
If I may share a little personal experience;
I first came into the world of screen readers back in 1987 when all we had
was external speech boxes running on DOS 2.0. LOL
When DOS was going away they were telling all of us in the blind community
to buy up all the latest versions of any DOS software we could get because
the blind will never be able to use windows with its GuI interface of all
pictures and graphics.
Well in hind sight we all know what nonsense that turned out to be.
I rely upon Skype for earning a living and my global communications and
don't look forward to the learning curve and the hours or days of inventing
new work-arounds for all the tasks I must accomplish each day; But if
change is coming then I must be willing to embrace that change along with
the rest of the world.
If we all continue to communicate and share our discoveries we will all be
ok in the end.
For those of us here in the USA, have a happy and safe Labor Day Weekend,
For our members outside the States, have a blessed weekend also,
Mike from SC

Good morning All,
If I read the MS public notice correctly they never said Skype 7 was
going away on Sept 1.
They more clearly said they will no longer support it.
That doesn't mean it will grind to a halt and stop working it just means
don't go to them with questions about it.
Remember they stopped "Supporting" XP years ago but our old XP
machines still work.
Regarding the upgrade message that comes up during Skype 7 cessions, I
learned to just ignore it and what I did was to hit "CTRL 2"
key combo and go right to my new messages or what ever function I wished
to use.
One just has to be careful that you always be sure you are not on the
update screen or you could accidently start the downloading process of
Skype 8.
Even then it's not the end of the world you can cancel out of the
process fairly easily and stop it from happening.
When I read the helpful responses here in the group to those of us who
are having problems I'm very much put at ease that what ever I or anyone
else runs into Doug Lee and others here will come up with a fix for
it.
All stay well,
Mike in SC

Agreed the update message no longer appears when you launch skype but I don’t see any mileage out of speculating whether skype 7 will be around until April, July or whenever. Probably better to just accept it’s going to be discontinued and await microsoft’s next deadline day.
