They destroyed Skype! Couldn’t manage it, couldn’t make it better. It became worse and people fled from it

They should sell it to Meta, Mark Zuckerberg's company.
He may revive it

Or to Musk wink

About time.
They were beginning to look like Nokia.

Skype has always been unnecessarily hard to utilise.
..and coz it's Microsoft, it definitely wasn't for sale.

They prolly didn't have great R&D team.

Skype was the number 1 video call/messaging app for years until Microsoft acquired it, don't say what you don't know.
Exactly. Some of the posters will be revealing their ignorance.

Good evening, my daddies, mothers, brothers, and sisters on Nairaland Forum.

Please, I need your help.

I'm using this medium to appeal to everyone that comes across this post to consider me, please. I'm not going to lie so I can be pitied, so I'll just be completely honest.

I'm here to beg so I can get something to eat. Any good person should help me with anything he or she can; I'll appreciate any amount, please.

I'm begging everyone in the name of God Almighty. I've exhausted every option I have, and that's why I'm here now. I have not eaten anything since yesterday evening. This is due to the fact that I was evicted from where I was squatting. I have been running helter-skelter looking for where I can get a temporary place to stay.

Please, I am totally broke. I don't have any money; I will appreciate it if anyone can help me with any amount just for me to get something to eat today. Please don't let me die of this hunger! I swear to God Almighty, I've never done this before, and this is the last thing I want to do, but I have no other option now.

Please have mercy on me and help me.

My bank details are:

Bank: PALMPAY
Account Number: 906 137 3493
Account Name: Zainab Opeyemi Saliu


May God Almighty continue to bless you and your family. May you never lack any good things in life. May God Almighty continue to protect you and your family. Amen

I want to sell my Tecno F3-POP 1.

Price: #18,000

If you are interested, please call me at 0906 13 73 493. I'm in Epe, Lagos State. I decided to sell my phone because I need to raise funds to buy foodstuffs and keep some money for my transport to Recreation in Epe here where I do cleaning job now for survival.

Why must you lie and conjure fables just to fleece people of their money? You are not sick and you are an able bodied guy. You can't keep on going on like this. The worst of all is you going to use the money given to you for betting.

Folks beware, that guy is a full-time scammer

Re: Microsoft To Shut Down Skype After 21 Years by popp(m): 11:19pm On Feb 28, 2025
I didn't go through because I didn't want to go through.

But in a nutshell, Skype isn't booming.

they have edge which is still crap. Best browser is till Mozilla in my opinion. Chrome also sh×× drags my ram like say I open GTA 5 and Forza horizon at the same time. Well microsoft no improve just as andriod has failed to improve andriod 8 all we have now is changing theme same with Microsoft keep changing Startisback for people I think after XP window 7 remains the best ever since then Microsoft have been producing nonsense.

I used to hear of Skype.

I always wondered what it was like. I had always wanted to try it.

I use to hear people say they use it to chat with people abroad.

But I never used it.

No regrets.

Love WhatsApp Video, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.

I have used all these ones and I'm fulfilled.

You did not mention Azure where all the magic now happens. They own LinkedIn and GitHub too.
