Skype 7

Official support for Skype 7 was ended by Microsoft in November 2018; in January 2019, versions 7.40 were blocked from entering, but rolling back to the older 7.36 resolved the situation. Around May 2019, the old versions, along with their protocol, were completely disabled.

Unfortunately, as of July 2024, a method to restore the old official client has not been found.

Skype 8 Mods (Windows)

Skype 8 js files use code obfuscation to improve security and prevent hacking. Bringing the code back to its original state is very difficult. I don't have the skills to fully change the code of new versions..

In older Skype 8 clients, it was not possible to reply with a message to a photo. Therefore, when some user with the new Skype 8 client uses this function, the old versions cannot process such messages correctly and crash into a blue screen

The project is created for free on pure enthusiasm, therefore we do not have the ability to use digital signatures for installers, due to their absence, Windows SmartScreen can issue notifications about a suspicious file.

At this point, the installer blocks Skype from auto-updating and registers a copy of Skype in the “default programs.” You can always check the antiupd_protocol_patch.bat file in the Skype installation folder and make sure that the installer is not doing anything else to your device.

User Profiles

In order for the profile buttons to work, you must have the Skype client installed (preferably the official one) on your device.

This usually takes up to several days. However, sometimes I can be too busy in real life or with other projects to quickly add a profile.

This functionality is only available to verified users

Groups

How long do I have to wait until my group is added to the list?

This usually takes up to several days. However, sometimes I can be too busy in real life or with other projects to quickly add a group to the list.

To add a group to the list, it must have a MINIMUM of 10 members and at least 25 messages per week. Its name should not contain obscene language, and the group itself should not contain illegal activities or incite hatred.

Of course, Google Form has the ability to add rules that will be displayed when you try to connect to it.

Skype Web Wrapper

Skype Web Wrapper is an older version of Skype For Web that had an interface similar to Skype 7.

These are the names of clients based on Skype Web Wrapper that were popular in the summer of 2023.

In most cases, if the conversation topic mentions Skype 4.0, Electron, app.asar or Skype Classic nearby, then we are probably talking about one of the Skype Web Wrapper clients.

Skype mods for Android

Because of this, some sites stopped working, including Microsoft domains for logging into your account. You need to find new certificates and update them to restore the client.

In newer versions of Skype for Android, the structure of resources has been changed and file hash checking has been added. It's possible to work around this, but it will take a little longer...

Update to Skype Lite 1.88 or Skype 8.15, they still have the old design.
