Oh dear, I mean it seems like recently anytihng that M$ has come in contact with has ended with some sort of anti consumer or just stupid: "How the hell did this get past testing" decisions. DRM on Xbox one, Surface, Windows 8, and now Skype.
The other day I was playing some games with my friends and talking to eachother via skype and randomly I hear some lady trying to sell me soap. I go to my browser and nothing is playing and am really confsued and annoyed because the ad is still playing. After furiously going thorugh everything open I see that Skype is palying an ad with Audio. Immediately I siad: "You can't be seroius, they can't be THAT fucking stupid." Oh but how wrong was I. Skype has now decided to implement Audio ads while you are in calls. So I repeat myself: "How did this get past testing?" Whoever was responsible for this is a bigger moron than the people who fell for Harold Camping's scam. An ad that randomly plays at full volume while you are trying to listen to someone talk or listen to whatever else you are doing. You can't disable these ads you can only mute the current one and then let the next one, yes there will be a next one and one after that and so on, annoy you endlessly.
I just can't understand why they would do this, or how they thought it was a good idea. It isn't even like there is a version for Skype that if you pay for it is ad free, this is the only version. I guess this is why we can't have nice things.
I do agree, implienting this is quite harsh. But I do understand why they would, revenue. Which isn't all that bad as Skype is a free product.
Making a dramatic shift in marketing probably will hurt thier numbers. And lasting 10 years (since 2003) with out ads, they shouldn't have to add audio ads now.
That's what you get for not disabling ads in settings.
Weird, I don't get ads on teamspeak. Lol sorry op, never was a fan of skype.
Razer Comms dude.
Still a bit buggy, but works like a charm.
You can't disable these ads with the new update.
No one I know uses it. It would be useless.
