Microsoft recently announced that older versions of Skype would no longer work on Windows and Mac OS X, but it seems like the latter platform is getting more changes from the Redmond-based tech giant.

Download the old version of Skype for Mac. If you experience any compatibility issues with Skype for Mac, consider downloading one of the older versions of Skype.MacUpdate stores previous versions of Skype for you since v.6.15.0.335.

A report published today by AppleInsider and pointing to a statement of a Microsoft Skype team member reveals that the company might actually end support for the app on Mac OS X 10.5.8 and below, thus requiring users who want to continue running the app to update to at least Snow Leopard.

Even though the statement comprises lots of vague details, Microsoft’s support engineer seems to suggest that Apple customers should switch to OS X 10.6 to be able to run Skype, even though it’s not yet clear whether there’s a deadline for the update or not.

“There seems to be a lot of confusion around this. First, let me assure you that no-one is locking you out from using Skype on OS X 10.6 - 10.8 and there is no need to upgrade to Mavericks or (the new OS X now in dev preview) Yosemite if you don't want to,” the statement reads.

“All OS X 10.6 - 10.8 users can head over to [Skype page] and get version 6.15. This is a very solid release and you can still use all of the main features without any problems (i.e. group video, group chats, screen sharing etc). Note that you should only use the link above, it serves you with a correct update for your OS version, direct links (to DMG files) can work, but are not guaranteed to do so.”

The statement then goes on to emphasize that Microsoft hopes everyone would update, pointing out that Mavericks is the version that works best for everyone.

“That said, we still encourage you to stay up to date, meaning upgrading to Mavericks and getting the latest Skype. Hope this clarifies things a bit. If you have problems updating, please let us know in this thread and I'll try to help you,” the conclusion reads.

At this point, users running an older version of Mac OS X have turned to all kinds of workarounds to be able to use Skype on their Apple computers, but Microsoft could very well block these too in the future.

Just like it’s the case on Windows platforms, the best way to deal with this is to update to a newer version of Mac OS X and thus run the latest builds of the operating system and Skype.

Microsoft has announced the release of Skype 6.15 for Mac OS X, a highly-anticipated update for some users who are experiencing problems with the video chatting and IM client.

“Today we’ve released Skype for Mac, version 6.15. As with all our recent releases, we’ve focused on improving user experience and stability,” Nick Kocharhook and Tom Huang are proud to announce.

“Occasionally, some users experienced crashes on launch, and others on quit. Thanks to some valuable assistance from users in the Community Forums, we’ve been able to identify the cause of these crashes. This release contains fixes for both of them,” the duo says.

While some users won’t have to do anything extra aside from downloading and installing the new Skype, MacBook Pro users looking to do screen sharing will be required to install OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 to get a decent experience with Skype 6.15.

Microsoft doesn’t say sorry if that’s not on your agenda and offers it as an actual “fix” to widespread crashing reports.

According to the same post, “In the release of Skype for Mac version 6.14, we highlighted two known issues: animated emoticons using too much CPU, and some users experiencing crashes when screen sharing on MacBook Pros. In 6.15 we have fixed the animated emoticons issue, and MacBook Pros users should update to Mac OS X 10.9.2 to prevent crashes when screen sharing.”

If you set Skype to notify you of something and the feature doesn’t seem to work, don’t worry, the problem lies with a bug in the software. A bug that Microsoft has addressed, according to Nick Kocharhook and Tom Huang.

“Sometimes you don’t want to be notified of every message in a long-lived conversation, and that’s why Skype for Mac has allowed you to set notifications per-conversation for many years.”

“However, recently users on the Forums reported that these settings weren’t sticking. We’re happy to let you know this is no longer the case – this bug is fixed, and you can again use ‘Notification Settings…’ from the ‘Conversations’ menu to set notification keywords, etc.,” the duo adds.

As usual, customers are encouraged to provide their invaluable feedback in order to address any newly emerged issues. Interestingly, Skype 6.15 is one of the few releases that actually doesn’t come with a list of known issues.
