Version: 8.74.0.152
With the release of Skype 8.74.0.152, it appears that the system requirements have been upped to OS X 10.11+. I believe the last version compatible with OS X 10.10 is 8.73.0.92.

Much better audio and video quality than in other apps but the recent updates make it run slower

Not sure why anybody would be using Skype while Jitsi and BigBlueButton exist. If you have any interest in keeping your privacy, look for another solution.

Very sad nobody took care of Skype to keep the software up.. Now it is a disaster and I really don't enjoy using the app... Better go to Discord or Teamspeak. Sad...

Was good many years ago. Now its very bloated and slow.

Version: 8.66.0.74
It's a typical Microsoft program in that it works but will never be my favourite application. Some very clunky parts to the interface. We use an iPad usually to connect with son in Chicago on his (spit spit) Android phone at the same time with daughter here in the UK on her Mac or iPhone. She is often out walking her dogs in the countryside, or being driven somewhere, so her connection is via 4G. That in itself would have seemed like sci-fi not too long ago.

It's rubbish. Everyone knows it's rubbish. The 5-star reviews here are fakes.

What happened to the ability to change the background picture in Skype version 8.65.0.76?

Version: 8.64.0.67
I've been using Skype for many years, and it's become more stable over the years. It does have a pretty dated interface, but it does work, and it really has no real competition. I don't really have compliant with it.

annoying install.. pops up al the time when not needed....poor coding.
Jun 12 2020
Version: 8.61.0.77
1 star reviews ??? because there are so many alternatives, better than Skype ???
Truth is, there are none. Not even one reliable high quality software as Skype.

Version: 8.61.0.77
One star is a generous gift for this app. A shining example of why Microsoft should not bother coding anything for macOS. Horrible quality stuttering video chats over Gigabit connections depending on the day. Inconsistent ability to see who is online and available. Just a steaming POS that somehow continues to be a necessary evil to keep on my computer.

Spoke to friends in Coventry and BC at the same time. Wonderful. No breaks in communication at all. Great service.

Version: 8.56.0.103
Version 8.56...Skype still stinks! Utterly untrustworthy. Constantly breaks down during conversations. Nothing changes with updates! The only positive is that it is free and can be managed if you have the patience to deal with its instability and quirkiness. If you have an alternative, use it!
