Option to turn off automatic @ mentions when names are typed in messages
The new automatic addition of an @ in front of people's names whenever you type them in a message is incredibly annoying. Every time I type "Hi John" Skype seems to think that what I actually wanted to do was type "Hi @John". Can we please have the option to turn this insanely silly new feature off?

To block harrassment contacting by certain pattern in setting...
I have installed Skype on my mobile (Android) and laptop (Linux).
But I have been bombarded/harrassed 10-50 times everyday from some people (most of them are Chinese) asking to be my new contact. They are selling agents, gambling gangsters, with msg title:
"live:.cid xxxx".Can you add a new funciton / setting to BLOCK this type of harrassment?
For example: block any msg containing "live:.cid", block ip address starting "xxx.xx.", block msg containing certain language, block msg from a country, ....
At least, add a function to all the user to do multi-selection of msgs for deletion, reporting, ...

Reorder emoji in "React to this message" option
Dear Skype Developers,
Please implement functionality that I can reorder emojis under "React to this message" option. I do not want to add them or delete them. Just want to reorder them, so the ones that I use most are on the first "page". I added few of them and they are added at the end of the list, and I have to click several times to the right scroll button/arrow to get to them. That is annoying every time.
Regards,

Allow floating window for CHAT, for DEAF people or DEAF+INTERPRETER couple. With the current system I CAN'T see my deaf user hands properly.
When I am in a class of zoom and I need to open skype cause deaf user-pupil cannot or don't want to use zoom because of the many windows , I manage to do it, but when it is time to CHAT with this person, or I have to write to hime some long sentence or explanation of the teacher, I suddenly stop viewing half face and hands of him. This is VERY annoying.
Is it so difficult to get a floating chat window? to put it wherever I want in my screen? and reduce size etc?
Thanks

Leave Message
Users should have an option to set up auto-reply message, when they are away from Skype. It should work like auto-reply mail. User should be able to enable it by writing his/her message whenever it is required.

Real time texting
A feature that allows for real time texting, i.e. the receiver sees what the sender is typing in real time without pressing the send button, is a major improvement in real time communication. This is a service that has become compulsory for all new phones, and it would be a great feature on Skype. It would be a highly attractive feature for the hard of hearing/speech impaired community, which would be more inclined to use Skype. Many thanks for your consideration.
