About the new version of Skype for Mac

How do I find all the features that were easily assessable on the previous versions such the option to have your contact view your screen?

Answer

Unfortunately, the classic version of Skype has been removed from the download center due to security issue. There was an issue with an older version of the Skype for Windows desktop and Skype for Mac installer – version 7.40 and lower. The issue was in the program that installs the Skype software – the issue was not in the Skype software itself.

Skype users that have already installed the classic version of Skype are not affected. We have removed this older version of Skype for Windows desktop from our website skype.com The installer for the current version of Skype for Windows desktop and Skype for Mac (v8) does NOT have this issue, and it has been available since October, 2017. You can download the new Skype app for Desktop instead.

Hope this information helps.

Thanks.
