It was like the first mainstream video chatting service that I can think of. They should have blown up in the time of COVID right? Where the fuck did Zoom come from?

Skype is still around, but I don't remember it being as simple to use as Zoom is.

Has anyone else noticed lately that Skype is auto-launching in the background on Windows 10 devices?

Besides that we still use Skype in our office after using Zoom for a while and it's so annoying.

Doesn't MS own both Skype and Teams? Aren't they heavily pushing Teams?

The way I remember it skype got bought out by microsoft and from that point on just kept falling behind other similar programs further and further and further. It was getting slower and more bloated with every update and I stopped using it entirely at some point

Discord was the death knell for it being used for casual people and Zoom is better in a professional setting

Skype is owned by Microsoft and is being discontinued. It is being fully replaced by Microsoft Teams end of 2020/early 2021.

Which sucks because Skype is amazing and Teams is very clunky and unintuitive.

In my opinion, Skype > Zoom > Teams

Edit: To clarify I am referring to Skype for Business (which is leagues better than regular Skype).

were migrating to teams, hardly anyone uses skype now. and actually i love using teams, its the first microsoft product i speak about positively

but yeah im surprised that houseparty, zoom and others managed to chip away at the popularity of skype for home use

I think Skype for home use was on the decline long before Zoom and others came along, especially with the rise of smartphone apps like FB Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp, etc.

Yes, the product for business use was known as Lync but now it's back to Skype for Business.
