Microsoft has recently announced that the classic version of Skype would be retired in the fall, with users required to update to the latest release in order to continue being able to connect to the service.

Skype classic, also known as version 7.0, no longer supports the modern improvements that Microsoft wants to implement, the company explained in an announcement today, so the application will be pulled on September 1 for all users.

Instead, users can download and install Skype 8.0, which comes with a series of improvements like HD video and screensharing calls, chat media gallery, photo and video sharing, and mention support to respond directly to someone in a group chat.
