Hide control bar during videocalls
During a call the control bar at the bottom should be transparent or hidden so that the visible area is larger. Changed with one of the last updates. Would be great to be able to change that back in the settings.

Increase the number of account choices listed in the login page
Skype Windows App:
The current limit of 2 accounts offered on the login page is ridiculous. We have my own, wife's and son's account. I use a password manager so the passwords are big and randomised. They can't be remembered. We have to find them and copy and paste every time to log in.
We have had our accounts a long time and have a history of contacts and chats. When you bought Skype you gave me a new UNWANTED Skype account. This is now your default despite the fact that I never use it so it has no contacts…

button design
Would it be possible to change the color and size of the camera, phone and group creation buttons that appear in the upper right-hand corner of the screen once we choose a contact? They are small and grey on white. I often help two persons who have a bad eyesight to call someone on Skype (I do it over the phone), and they have problems seeing these buttons. Black camera and phone on sky-blue buttons would be nice! Thanks!

Skype window themes & Add on Tools
I think it would be awesome to upload custom background themes for skype windows like contacts window to have background themes. Also It would be a nice idea for skype to have add on tools and plugins useful for business and other things. Maybe maps add on?

Take off the grey bar at the top of video calls!
It takes up a lot of space on my screen and there’s no setting for it.

Skype startet automatisch im Zweisamkeitsmodus bzw. wechselt kurz nach dem Start der Besprechung in den Zweisamkeitsmodus und lässt sich vom Besprechungsmaster nicht zurück stellen. Wie lässt sich das Problem lösen?

Automated text and phone call for App application
I don't subscribe to cell phone services. I am using Skype second phone no. as my main mean of communication. However, since Skype cannot receive automatic text or phone call, I cannot register with many App which utilize 2 way verification by sending text messages to the Skype no. For truly being forward thinking and using Internet as the main mode of communication, this challenge should be overcome.

Get rid of the loud sound when you call someone
When you call someone on Skype it plays a loud little jingle until the other person answers. I feel like it could either be quieter, replaced, or just completely gotten rid of

Chat customisation
It would be awesome if we could:
(1) Change the background of our chat, like custom images.
(2) Change the theme color from blue to something else, like red or orange.
(3) Change ringtone for incoming calls
