It seems most folks in the blind community, or in this community at least, are rejoicing the demise of Skype, but I’m definitely not in that camp.
A distant cousin of mine told me about Skype, and I thought, nah, why Skype? For quite awhile I didn’t do anything about her recommendation but at some point, I cant remember exactly what year, I did download Skype and I have memories, yeah, both good and bad, where Skype is concerned. To throw all that away, I just can’t imagine how Microsoft is doing this. I can’t imagine how so many folks are happy about it.
When I reflect on how many people I met through Skype, how many long, lovely chats, both voice and text, I had there, I’m actually tearing up a bit. So, this is me, not rejoicing, not happy at all, that Skype is dying. Thanks, Microsoft, for taking over such a beautiful program and trashing it, all the way. You did a beautiful job, … not at all!
I haven’t made or received any calls on Teams yet. I hope the call quality is good, not like Zoom, ugh! I’m still familiarizing myself with Teams’ interface.
I’m not sure why Skype is dying.
I have never used teams before.
I understand completely.
I am not happy that Skype is gone. Be using Skype since 2013 when my cousin James set it up for me because I want it.
