Pickup the Skype call when picking up the handset on IP Video phones
When using a IP Video Phone, like Grandstream GXV3350, you must touch the screen to pick up a Skype call

Add an ability to disable GPU hardware acceleration

User Story / Pain:
When someone is trying to connect with me on Skype, I need to check who it is in order to decide whether to accept the connection or not. Currently I find no obvious way to do that.Feature Suggestion:
Allow the receiver of a contact request be able to see the senders info and to initiate a chat with them as if they we were already contacts. That way the receiver can more easily verify the senders identity, thus avoid scammers / phishing while accepting legitimate connections.Rationale:

Option to Disable Auto-Emojis
As a person who hates emojis and prefers the simple emoticon appearing as text , it is frustrating that there's no option to disable my emoticons from appearing as emojis when I hit send.
I think this feature would be easy to implement and please a lot of people who also feel the same way I do.1 vote -

being able to speak to someone...???!!!!
How can a person not be able to speak to someone within Skype, or to send a message and have it be addressed personally? This is quite shocking and unacceptable.
