I'm 39. So I've been around Skype since it came out back in 2003. Since then, 22 years later I didn't use it a single time. Never downloaded the program, app or accessed the webpage. 🤷
I used Skype a couple of times - I was talking to someone overseas. This was pre zoom. It’s interesting that they dropped the ball, they could have been zoom.
