There was quite a bit of talk that Skype on Linux is dead with the move by MS to the cloud.

But there's a new official client coming based on WebRTC :

Skype web works brilliantly on the chrome browser on Linux. I prefer it to the desktop client.

No video yet though

Stop using Skype. Can confirm that the WebRTC client works fine however.

Jitsi Meet is a self-hosted, enterprise-grade alternative which works just as well. It even supports larger video conferences than Skype.

"Hi, sorry, no I can't attend the Skype interview, lima on HN told me to stop using it"

Stop using Skype.

Easier said than done when colleagues, friends, and family use Skype for video calling.

Works surprisingly well with Jitsi Meet, since it runs in the browser and requires no setup. Just send them the link, they click on it, done.

Public instance there: https://meet.jit.si/

Company I work for migrated from Skype to Jitsi for meetings.
