No one else thinks Skype is terrible these days.

It runs on Windows 7 and 10 with version 7.12. There seems to be better alternatives. We enjoy screen sharing and the profile picture/messages are good. You can also see people online or offline easily. Some still prefer TeamSpeak, but I find the microphone noise bothersome when people talk. Skype’s mic stays active, which is why voices come through clearly.

Teamspeak is the best tool for VOIP.

I began connecting with a few friends each week. It’s a pleasant habit. It supports multiple platforms, which is great, and includes some fun features. It handles most of what Skype offers except screen sharing. You can share snapshots of your screen, but not live video. I haven’t used video calls on my PC before, though it does work there. There’s a button on the PC for that purpose.
