_never_ really?

step 1 - download dev version of chrome into a separate folder

step 2 - enable webrtc in flags://

step 3 - put a shortcut on your Desktop that points to this and says "Skype-NG" or something like that.

How is that different now than going and clicking on Skype from running and launching point of view. Bonus points, can also browse the web if you want.

Skype also might break or might go away anytime too. Or, rather, more likely will interrupt your video stream every 5 minutes to show you adds about dating sites and Nigerian scams.




how about:

1. download some 1MB binary. No depends or 3rd lib runtime or shit.

2. BAM! Voice and video group chat. S2S federated with all other XMPPs.


So both are pretty easy and neither is unrealistically impossible as the grandparent suggested...
