nope - checked, website version does the same.weird little thing.could be a setting in W10 (privacy setting), chrome setting, or a bug with the latest W10 build that came out last week.cant be bothered to dig in further.

unannounced video calls
unacceptable. unannounced audio calls are bad enough.

FWIW when I referred to Skype I actually meant as a chat program, not the calls/video part of it.
We use it at work extensively to do workbased / group chats. I know Slack is the done thing everywhere else but I dunno.

using skype for texting is like buying a land rover for the spacious glove box

I think we just ended up using it for that cos we use it/all have accounts for other stuff... and Skype are a customer...
Sic otm about the emojis though, they're hilarious and fun.

the conclusion to draw from all this is that as usual tech companies have made our lives worse for their own ends

trayce otm, ultimately it doesn't matter what we prefer because we end up using what everyone else uses
