    Skype has disappeared


    Starting about a week ago Skype no longer appears in my Systray. It's still listening because when someone sends a message it comes up but when I want to send I can no longer find it.

    Windows 10 v1909

  2. Skype?

    As this is a now quite established messenger system of sorts perhaps a Skype feature for people skype names so perhaps some real time problem solving/discussions could be mounted?
    Just a wee suggestion.
    What does everyone else think?
