Skype shutting down in May

Were you able to recreate the nodes of older versions of skype?

should’ve closed years ago, although i didn’t expect it now
especially since they were adding a bunch of random ai features

Im really think that its revive! im say maybe 3 to 8 half week and it be revives, there is many things which is rely on skype like telebision device,and phone landline feture which haves skype support .

no? it usually takes years for a “revival” to show up.

for instance, escargot didnt show up until 3 years after microsoft had pulled the plug on msn messenger (not counting trekie’s messenger reviver since it wasnt a custom server implementation) and it took another 3 years for escargot to officially support wlm 2009.

going to bump this thread because i just remembered about this

i seriously hope microsoft is going to drop an update that removes this “feature” completely from windows 10. this “feature” is basically just two buttons that open up skype’s meeting feature, not even teams, lmao.

R.I.P. skype, teams sucks so hard. its sluggish af

Yeah it low key sucks

the modern skype always sucks, i only want to try the oldest versions, they look nice to me

Maybe in the future there’ll be a Skype 7 revival or anything else

welp, its officially dead

altho skype’s “dial pad” phone calling feature apparantly still lives on?

Actually Skype servers will be fully shutdown on May 12,also Microsoft Released Skype updates 8.150 that will brick the app,You can downgrade to 8.138 on Windows and Android but on iOS it’s hard


yeah you just need to hold on 138

Works for me on my phone. And, the geniuses at Escargot/Nina have of course, gotten it to work.

Skype will be completely shut down on May 12th. Throughout this week, everything related to Skype will be gradually disabled on the server side. Many old endpoints have already been removed or are now timing out

ok honestly i wouldnt be surprised if this ends up being like what happened with msn messenger where some of the infrastructure remained online for a few more years

“a few years” What ???
Anyways if anyone wants to get skype working again you need an older apk (i used 8.132)
Then i used APKTool M to change the version string to 8.150.0.125 (Latest version (which has the killswitch)) and that worked

for some context: after msn messenger officially shut down in 2013, one could use trekie’s messenger reviver to make it functional again, because some of the servers were still functional. this was possible until 2017 when microsoft closed the last remaining server.
