Limitations for some users

Back in 2015, when Skype was experimenting with its Web version it was supporting the Linux and Chrome OS. It was available for both the platforms after its launch on the two big platforms macOS and Windows. It looks like the web application was found to be stable enough on macOS and Windows so it dropped the support for the other two smaller platforms. Users running MacOS 10.12 or higher and Windows operating system along with Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome can only enjoy the latest features. It’s clear that, if you are using a Linux system or a Chromebook, you won’t be able to access the new version of Skype for Web. Moreover, the tool does not support the Firefox browser and mobile devices. It clearly means that you might have to face “Browser not supported” message if you are using any unsupported browser. Most of the loyal Skype users found that to be annoying. They still had to use the desktop application because of the limitations. It’s still unclear that when the web application will be launched for the unsupported platform. But users still hope that will happen soon. RELATED STORIES TO CHECK OUT:
