It would be useful if the search in the "Chats" tab allowed you to search through all contacts.

One thing that's a bit counter intuitive in the UI is how the search bar works. When I click search in the "Chats" tab, it only searches through active chats. When I click search in the "Contacts" tab, it searches through contacts. Usually, if I want to chat with someone, I would be in the chats tab, click on search, and would want to search for anyone, irrespective of whether I've chatted with them in the past (or if I deleted a conversation with them).

Running v16.2.156. Yesterday someone scheduled an all day Skype meeting, which means the time ran from 12 AM that day to 12 AM the next day. They sent out invites to the meeting at a time like 9 AM. The meeting was not available in the Skype list of meetings. I assume this was because it was more than 6 hours since the start of the meeting. There should be probably be checking for a meeting still being in session before removing it from the list. A fallback on this would be to allow scrolling backward to prior meetings. This could also be helpful for pulling up the meeting chat history.

What I see as the most important keyboard shortcut, is missing. That is the ability to search for a contact no matter where you are in the app.
I'm thinking the flow should be:

• E.g. Cmd + f or Cmd + Option + f to active the search field no matter where you are in the app.

• Use key up and down to run through the search results and then

• Enter, to either start a chat or call the person.

It must be a top 3 used function to (1) go to the app and (2) find a contact to call.

By having a global shortcut this can be done much faster than today and without a mouse.

With ios 9 most applications (like viber or messenger or skype) would pause when someone used to call via a normal call.

Now all those apps are part of the integral call kit control so the calls appear as normal calls and call waiting is activated when a second call arives ,

The CallKit SDK allows incoming calls from third-party VoIP apps to appear on the iOS lockscreen just like a standard cellular ID does.

Incoming Messenger calls show the caller's Messenger, skype,viber profile information alongside controls like mute, keypad, and a speakerphone toggle. On answering a call, users are taken to the Messenger app.

Skype is now doing this so Skype for business needs the same principle it's not cool for the bussiness call to pause when someone calls you,
Any plans to add this functionality ?.
