- Skype is now Microsoft
- Integration of Skype & FaceBook
- 300 million minutes of video calls per day
- 700 million minutes of free calls per day
- 65 million people sign in every day
But, there is also « bad » news : for the first time ever since 2004 Skype didn't cross a « million milestone » of users online in the period September to December. In May Skype crossed the 30 million simultaneous people online, and it got stuck around that number ! I don't understand why ...

Hi, just a thought: one of the reasons of the lack of further growth to the number of online users could be that Mac users have progressively lost interest in Skype as a result of the introduction of the (horrible) Skype 5.0 GUI. They are switching to iChat, Google Talk and Facetime/iMessage as partial alternatives to Skype. It would be interesting to see the number of access to Skype as a function of the OS used.
Hello Raffaele,
Perhaps you have a point there, but I don't have the Skype users for each distinct OS.
Thanks for sharing your opinion!
:-)
thanks Jean for your interesting number. Just curious about how do you get the 65 million people sign in every day? thanks a lot
Well Leo, this is a number provided by Skype itself!
By the way, today we went over 35 million users online!
thanks Jean :)
