Ben Anderson (ID: 000000f8723f4b8b) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 04/07/2022 As of 3/4/2019 no longer works on my chromebook. App tries to prompt me to install from Google Play which of course won't let me because it isn't android. I use Skype daily for work and this kind of nonsense shouldn't happen from a top tech company. What happened to the good old skype chat where I could type back and forth to my coworkers? Gone. Now all it wants to do is start a video chat. Skype isn't Zoom. And I love that about Skype. Stop trying to be Zoom. Give me my chat application for Chromebook back.
