Top 7 Best Open Source Skype Alternatives In 2025
Skype feels like it has been around forever but “May 5 2025, is the day Skype will cease to exist as Microsoft retires it, pushing people to switch to their Teams offering. The death of Skype was a slow one, but one that has been coming for quite some time now.”
But there are some excellent alternatives. I've long been using Jitsi myself, and even if you don't want to self-host it, you can use their cloud hosted version for free (with no 40 minute limit).

Yeah, my missus mentioned this yesterday. Thanks for the link. I'm using Zoom a lot, as I paid a subscription months ago, but I would like to switch to something else. I like the fact Zoom allows up to 50 guests in a live stream. But on the other hand, they built their business on schools during lockdown, and that pisses me off
That Jami does look great. I will gove that a try. Cheers! Let's see how it goes.
