-https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/skype/forum/all/skype-for-linux-updates/da864865-d9e9-4819-8a5d-8de8934dd312
-install skype:
-<code>
-wget https://go.skype.com/skypeforlinux-64.deb
-sudo dpkg -i skypeforlinux-64.deb
-</code>
-Skype repo:
-<code>
-wget https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY
-sudo apt-key add SKYPE-GPG-KEY
-rm SKYPE-GPG-KEY
-sudo sh -c 'echo "deb [arch=amd64] https://repo.skype.com/deb stable main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/skype-stable.list'
-sudo apt-get update
-sudo apt-get install skype
-</code>
-For distorted or absent sound latency settings may be required:
-<code>
-env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U</code>
-gnome menu entry to be updated using: Some systems require 60
-<code>sudo sed -i 's/^Exec=.*/Exec=env PULSE_LATENCY_MSEC=30 skype %U/' /usr/share/applications/skype.desktop</code>
-If Skype doesn't start automatically with system, it needs to be added to "Startup Applications".
-Skype appears to re-create auto-start entry automatically. To prevent this:
-<code>
-rm ~/.config/autostart/skypeforlinux.desktop
-mkdir ~/.config/autostart/skypeforlinux.desktop
-</code>
