I saw an article on Twitter about Skype 7 not working after September 1st. People will have to use Skype 8.

Yes, I was made aware of this yesterday evening. I updated the older Skype, stupidly as it turned out, and lost my older Skype early. Attempts to roll back failed.

I can use the newer Skype, but as you may be aware of in another thread I made, I can't hear any Skype-related sounds except for call audio. Therefore, I can make calls but can't tell when I'm getting one. I know that not all people suffer from this affliction, but since I do, and no answers are forthcoming as to a solution, I'm rather saddened. For the most part I do like the new Skype, if only I could get my problem solved. Oh well.

And, speaking of version numbers, the current Skype version I'm running is Skype 12.1815.210.0. It is the UWP app for windows 10.

It's on the first of September, so I've heard as well, not the thirty-first.

And, since there is no thirty-first of September, well, I rest my case.

I installed Skype 8 on my Mac and Windows computer already, the reason I did that now is to get use to it. I don't think it's that bad but others may disagree.The layout looks like the Windows 10 UWP app.

I don't mind the looks so much, just the lack of Skype-related sounds not being played. Call audio works fine, both mike and speakers. NVDA reads chat messages to me, but for calls, it's vital that the incoming call sound be played!

Skype 7 can still be used after 01.09.2018, however, the support is discontinued and there is an automatic download of version 8.

They will force people to update, whether through forced update or whatever.

Yesterday I saw an article that said Microsoft recieved a lot of feedback about Skype 8 accessibility so I guess they decided to keep Skype Classic for now. I don't know when Microsoft will retire Skype Classic.

I suppose, but it surely does make them look dumb, backtracking the way they have all through this so-called transition.

It's definitely easier if you can manage to sign in on your basic account, but somehow I managed to get in on, well, one account or the other. My Microsoft account is signed in on this machine, but I don't think I used it for Skype, though it is merged with the Skype one.

I can't do it at all on my iPhone, oh well.
