[Updated 2018/10/25], Since TalkHelper v5.10, only Skype for desktop v8.x and Skype for business(32bit) are supported,

Skype UWP(Skype for Windows 10) and Skype Classic v7.4 are NOT supported any more.

 

You can download the Skype for desktop v8.x through the link below:

https://downloads.skype.com/s4l/download/win/Skype-8.38.0.138.exe

Note: Skype UWP version (Skype app from app store) looks extremely similar to Skype for desktop version, the only difference on the main UI between the two versions is the Skype icon on the title bar.

Make sure you sign out your account from Skype classic v7.41 or Skype UWP version before you login your account on Skype for desktop v8.x.

Skype for desktop version: (with Skype icon on the title bar).

    i have installed the new Skype version. I am running Windows 10. Skype message was the old version was not going to be supported so they suggested the New version and that is what I have done. I have a paid version of Talk Helper so when are you going to start supporting it?

      I suggest you to use Skype classic version on Windows 10, it’s perfectly supported by TalkHelper.
      If you use Windows 7, you can use the newest Skype for desktop v8.13 which is also supported by TalkHelper.

    It’s a pain!
    Skype Classic deletes when Windows 10 does an update. This means that I have to reload Skype Classic almost everyday. Can you provide a deadline date by which you will have a version which supports Windows 10.

      You can upgrade TalkHelper to the newest v5.1 to support Skype for Windows 10.
