Velocity
Velocity is a replacement service for the now-shutdown Skype. We’re working on a replacement service for the now-shutdown Skype that brings back what made classic instant messaging great, without all the bloat.
We’re working on support for MSN 1-4 and more platforms to come.
Our Custom Velocity Client is available now. it’s just a recreation of the classic Skype client, but non corporate. 
If you want to jump in right away, go to the Skype section and start messaging. Official client support is in the works and will be here one day (we’re trying to make it more accurate to Skype by having features Skype had, etc).
There will also be a Christmas event in Velocity, so stay tuned!
If you want to stay updated on new features, report bugs, or chat with the community, join our Discord server and chat with other users and the development team.
