Wait, Skype was still around? I thought it shutdown a few years back

Immigration Canada wanted proof of my wife's relationship, so we dumped a packet of printed call logs on them as thick as a novel. Skype certainly served its purpose.

I never really used Skype as a VOIP platform, but it was a great tool for many years for calling international phone numbers affordably. I'm sure it helped many people saving a lot of money calling their friends and relatives. For that I remember it somewhat fondly.

Huh?
I thought Skype was still a widely used thing.

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I haven't heard of anyone using Skype in over a decade.

[–] Chozo@fedia.io 9 points 2 months ago

Skype you later!

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I actually had a Skype phone back in the days

Not really. It’s just called “Teams” now.

For us plebs. Government (US) will still use it for years to come.

[–] hamsterkill@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think Teams has already taken over there as well.
