#66313 — skype

Does the camera on a skype video call cut out straight away as soon as 
you hang up the call?

I think SKype is still used quite widely.  Zoom is a newcomer and it has 
yet to prove itself.

Nobody I know still uses it. All the people on my Skype list moved on to 
better options. Even I haven't logged in for close on a decade.

If they are on Facebook, then Facebook Messenger. If they own an iPhone, 
then Facetime. If neither, I use messages or other text forms.

Messenger is OK if you sell your soul to Facebook, Facetime is OK if you 
are an Apple fanboi, Skype works with almost anything.

I was told "you have to get Duo so we can talk" just recently. 
Ironically it was during a phone conversation.

I get the same but it is *Line*??? that they are talking about. Tried it 
once, it tried to take over my phone, deleted it and have been happy 
with my phone ever since.

I had it set up on a computer ages ago but all the people I had on my 
rather long list have long since forsaken Skype and moved on to other 
systems. I don't know anyone who still uses it.

For the clueless crowd, AFAIK
jujitsu,
zoom, or
discord.

If you have some nouse, a web search will pop up some FOSS alternatives.

It should.
Just put your "profile picture" ideally portrait photo 
Disable video/turn it off. Sound is enough.
