Discussion revolves around the impending shutdown of Skype and its implications for webcam models who rely on it for income. Microsoft has announced that Skype will be discontinued in May, with users being encouraged to migrate to Microsoft Teams.
Key points discussed include:
- Concerns about the transition from Skype to alternative platforms like Discord and Telegram, which have their own challenges, including issues with adult content and a high number of non-serious users.
- SkyPrivate's exploration of alternatives, with suggestions for direct streaming via browser-based solutions without third-party plugins.
- The importance of finding platforms that allow NSFW content, given that Teams is unlikely to support it.
- The need for platforms to provide guidance and solutions to models who depend on Skype-based services.
- Models express a need to adapt and remain calm as service providers work on potential solutions.
Overall, the community is in a state of anticipation, exploring alternatives, and waiting for further announcements from service providers about integrating new communication tools that align with their needs.
