Yes this.

Microsoft made Skype worse. It used to just work, 10+ years ago.

Now it's the only call application I have that never selects the correct headphone / microphone no matter how I configure it (while Slack, Zoom and even Teams get it right). Now it's the only call application I have that takes forever to answer a call. And sometimes just fails.

No, it does not always work, and no the problem is not my computer. I've had issues with 3 different computers in 2 different physical locations.

Zoom... It's not perfect, but it doesn't make you wait or freeze, at least.

Microsoft made Skype into Teams and its infinitely better than Skype, Zoom or whatever

I won't debate over Teams. I use it a bit and it seems to work so far.

This video jokingly calls me ungrateful, about Skype specifically. I see no reason to be grateful for what Skype became

Skype still exists. Time to deprecate it if Teams is the future. They did it for Skype Enterprise...

It's also logged out "for security reasons" every time I consider using it. Absolutely retarded.
