Skype 退役了,現在還能拿來做什麼

Skype 軟體圖示 Skype 7.40.0.151 資料更新 2017-10-30 閱讀約 5 分鐘

你開啟電腦,習慣性點開 Skype,想跟遠在國外的家人視訊。結果發現微軟早就宣佈這套軟體要收攤了,官方一直叫你轉去用 Teams。你心裡想:我只是想打個網路電話,為什麼要換一套完全不熟的介面?那些聯絡人、聊天紀錄、還有儲值點數,難道就這樣沒了?

一般人遇到這種狀況,直覺是「那就換 Teams 吧」。但 Teams 是設計給企業協作用,介面、通知方式、甚至帳號邏輯都跟 Skype 不一樣,對只想跟家人朋友講講話的人來說,門檻太高。這類通訊工具的切入點其實是:先確認軟體還活不活著、維護狀況如何,再決定要不要繼續投入時間學習,而不是一看到「免費視訊」就裝下去。

01Skype 現在還能用嗎?

微軟已宣佈經典版 Skype 消費者應用程式退役,官方說明指出這套軟體已停止支援且無法使用,並引導使用者轉往 Microsoft Teams。如果你原本就有安裝,可能還能開起來,但功能隨時可能被關閉,不建議再依賴它做重要通訊。

02它還能免費打視訊電話嗎?

依照官方功能說明,Skype 原本提供免費的全球視訊通話,也支援 HD 畫質。但這項功能是建立在軟體還在營運的前提下。既然微軟已宣佈退役,就算現在打得通,也不保證能一直用下去,重要通話請改用其他管道。

03可以傳檔案跟分享螢幕嗎?

可以。官方說明提到 Skype 支援檔案傳輸、螢幕分享,還有通話錄製跟即時字幕。這些功能在軟體正常運作時都能用,但同樣受限於退役狀態,建議先確認軟體是否還能開啟,再決定要不要把檔案傳輸依賴在它身上。

04能打電話到一般手機或市話嗎?

可以,官方說明提到 SkypeOut 可以從軟體撥打到全球的市話和手機,需要購買 Skype Credit 或訂閱方案,也有提供本地電話號碼服務。但這屬於付費功能,在退役狀態下,你儲值的點數能不能退款或轉移,需要自行向微軟確認。

05通話有加密嗎?

官方說明指出 Skype 的桌面版通話有端到端加密,也強調隱私對話功能。但要注意,這是指軟體正常運作時的設計,不代表退役後依然適用。如果你需要的是長期穩定的加密通訊,應該找還在持續維護的軟體。

06我習慣用 Skype 跟國外家人聯絡,現在該換什麼?

微軟官方建議轉到 Microsoft Teams,但 Teams 的介面和操作邏輯跟 Skype 不同,需要重新適應。如果你只是要簡單的視訊通話,可以考慮其他通訊軟體,但這份資料沒有提供具體替代方案的比較,請自行評估哪一套最符合你的需求。

07公司還在用 Skype 開會,該不該換 Teams?

微軟官方就是建議轉 Teams,但 Teams 偏企業協作設計,功能比 Skype 多很多,學習成本較高。如果你的公司只是要開視訊會議,可以比較 Teams 跟其他會議軟體的功能和價格,再決定要不要跟著微軟的引導走。

08介面只有英文,看不懂怎麼辦?

這套軟體的介面語系只有 English,沒有中文介面。如果你不熟悉英文操作,使用上會比較吃力。退役狀態下,微軟不太可能再補上其他語言,建議直接找有中文介面的通訊軟體,省得邊用邊查字典。

09它更新頻率很低,會不會有安全問題?

根據版本紀錄,這套軟體近 24 個月只更新過 1 次,更新頻率很低。加上微軟已宣佈退役,等於不會再修漏洞或補功能。拿它來傳重要檔案或談敏感話題,風險得自己承擔,不建議這樣做。

10我該不該現在開始學用 Skype?

不建議。微軟已經明確停止支援,這套軟體等於是進入倒數計時的狀態。現在才開始學,等於把時間投資在一個隨時會消失的工具上。不如直接找一套還在持續更新的通訊軟體,從零開始建立使用習慣。

11有功能相近、更多人用的替代方案嗎?

這份資料列了 Digsby、Psi、Tango for Windows、ooVoo、JANDI 等軟體,但沒有提供功能比較或使用人數的詳細資訊。微軟官方唯一明確建議的替代方案是 Microsoft Teams,但 Teams 是否適合你,還是要自己試用過才知道。

12我儲值的 Skype Credit 會不見嗎?

官方說明沒有提到儲值點數的退款或轉移方式。微軟宣佈退役時,可能有相關的配套措施,但這份資料沒有記載。建議你直接聯絡微軟客服,確認你的點數能不能退款,或是有沒有其他補償方案。

- Media toolbar: Sharing shouldn’t take too many clicks – as such we’ve released a new toolbar which you can use to quickly share photos, files, video messages, contacts and emoticons. In your instant message window, you’ll now see shortcuts to these five sharing options. As you type, the toolbar will minimize itself so you can see more of what you type. To expand it again, just click the paper clip menu.
- URL previews: Today we’re beginning to roll out URL previews to all Skype for Windows users. Now, you will be able to see a preview of what was shared with you rather than a long, ugly link. With URL preview, you can see the video or image preview of what is about to be shared with you or what you just shared with someone.

- Compact sidebar: Some of you asked us to see more contacts and conversation in the left hand sidebar. Enable the option "Compact Sidebar View" from the "View" menu for a more compact layout
- Compact Chat View: If you can live without your chat message having some whitespace around them to give them room to breathe you can now increase your "message per inch" ratio drastically by activating "Compact Chat view" in Skype Options - "IM & SMS" - Advanced settings. Also don't miss out on the other available tweaks to the UI we wrote about earlier
- Toggle for large emoticons: Some users prefer not to show emoticons sent in an individual messages in a larger size. You can find an option to toggle this in the Skype Options - "IM & SMS" - "IM appearance"
- Toggle for unread messages: You can now quickly switch between your conversations that contain unread messages and all by using the dropdown on top right of your "Recent" list. See the screenshot on the right
- Touch scrolling: If you are sporting a device with a touch screen like a tablet you can now use vertical finger swipes to scroll in conversations. Better have a screen wipe at hand all the time though
