Skype 8 doesn't show when a message was edited
Unlike earlier versions, in Skype 8 when you hover over the pencil icon, which is the icon signifying that a message has been edited, it doesn't display when it was edited.
Please include this vital information again. Skype support indicated that not including it is "by design."

light colored icons (e.g. the camera, phone and contacts) on a light background (light gray circle) make it difficult for vision impaired
Create icons that vision impaired people (i.e. macular degeneration) can see. It is not easy or intuitive to find settings that can help with making the screen larger and making icons more visible.
For vision impaired people, keeping the screen layout simple and keeping it the same is very helpful (because they tend to memorize where things are located on the screen).
I am submitting this on behalf of my neighbor who has macular degeneration. he uses Skype weekly to keep in touch with his sister-in-law

Can you make the screen share like it was before.
One of the things that's a bit annoying about sharing the screen is there's a bunch of useless clutter when watching a screen share that's impossible to get rid of. Also it's not proper full screen anymore. Can you restore it to how it was before ruining it thanks?
28 votesThank you all who voted! The Skype Team has heard your feedback and it’s on our backlog now. I’ll let you know if anything changes.

Push to talk
Push to Talk. It is a thing. Literally every other VoIP app has this and Skype used to from what I gather.

Create an option to let Skype start with the Contacts view as the default?
My Skype version always starts with the Chats view. Creating an option to let users choose a different view, like Contacts which I use most, would be a better feature.
