Skype had become a really horrible program under Microsoft. Aweful buggy app, bad video quality, ... Here's someone else's testimony, which matches my own experience: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/all/skype-is-horrible/83ceff2b-3217-4ddd-bfa5-fcec0b390997

Microsoft Teams for business is pretty good as long as the call stays within the company. Go outside of that and you run into loads of problems thanks to Microsoft's hubris. The problem really is Microsoft.

Zoom and Google meet just work in my experience.

If we haven't (I might have missed it), a few years from now we'll get an insider's story on how Microsoft killed Skype.

There must have been some really fucked up political shenanigans with the "Skype for Business" into "MS Teams" folks that must be at the root of much of Regular Skype™'s enshitification.

Now we just wait for third time to become the charm: MSFT will buy Discord, rebrand it "Teams for XBOX", then promptly enshittify it because it's eating into their own B2B marketshare.
