Of course the market dropped skype ever since Microsoft took over. </snark>

Seriously, I've been a remote worker for 8 years. Skype quality went down so much when MS took over. For the past 3 years, Slack and Zoom have literally picked up the slack.

I’ve been using the Skype web preview on my 2012 Retina MBP because Skype.app has become unusable on it. They must have recently switched video codecs or broken hardware acceleration, a video conference with 4-6 people chews up anywhere from 200%-400% of my Ivy Bridge i7. The same sized video conference using the Skype web preview in Chrome uses ~40%.
