Coming over the summer, Microsoft is going to add integrated call recording (something that previously required third-party applications and a deprecated API), read receipts to show when a message recipient has read a message, and end-to-end encryption of text and audio chat using the Signal protocol.
Microsoft is also making Skype audio and video calls easier to integrate into streams such as those used on Mixer and Twitch. Support for the NDI API means that streaming applications such as Xsplit and OBS can use a Skype call as an audio/video source. That means they can be overlaid on games or other content, just as is already done with webcam input.
Will the changes come in time to save Skype's userbase?

You're doing it wrong. It's a drop in replacement for chat software. It does an ok job at that. Maybe comes up to the standard you'd expect of software from the 90s. Like ICQ. But crappier.
You don't use it for calls. FFS.
