Skype for Web looks like it could be a good alternative for OP. It has been around since 2019. Cf., <https://www.skype.com/en/blogs/2019-03-skype-online/>. Both the Linux app from the *.deb and the browser-based app (and other package formats, like MSI) likely use the web security model, so you are f**k'd with either one. There's probably no benefit to using one over the other. Neither can provide a secure channel, and both will happily allow interception of your calls. Skype also points people to their community for questions: <http://go.skype.com/skype.community>. Maybe someone in the community can answer the OP's questions, like what it's like to use the snap version of the app. Jeff
