I'm an Electron-hater in general, but are you forgetting the fact Skype for Linux didn't support group video calls until the Electron version?

This is simply not true.

Then why do I see people from 2016 saying

> "Skype For Linux does not support group video calling" [1]

and articles from 2017 saying

> "The latest update to the Skype Linux client makes it possible to place group video calls on Linux, [...] Electron-based app [...] This is the first update to the popular VoIP app since Microsoft retired the Qt-based Skype 4.3 [2]

Plus I was personally there, trying to make group video calls from Linux in 2016. So I've seen this firsthand.

What makes you think what I say isn't true?
