Skype just told me there's a new version and I need to update it through package manager, how do I do that? Do I need to use the snap command? If so, then how? Ubuntu software center doesn't give me the option to update.

when installed using snap skype fails to auto launch on boot up even though its told to in skype settings so I prefer using the ubuntu package instead of snap– Scott StenslandDec 26, 2019 at 17:45

If you have installed the Skype snap package, you can update it by running the following command in Terminal
snap refresh skype
If you have installed Skype deb package downloaded from their official website, then run
sudo apt-get install skypeforlinux

2Hey, so I did that and it says:"snap "skype" has no updates available", however if restart skype, it still says that I need to update.– PavelFeb 21, 2018 at 16:25

@Pavel Strange! It seems that is the latest version. Even the deb package available at their official webpage is of version 8.16.0.4. I also have the same version, but I don't see any message like that.– pomskyFeb 21, 2018 at 16:46

Is it possible they didn't put the latest version on the download page? and the latest version is only available via update? Anyhow, since I restarted skype the last time, it hasn't told me to update anymore, even though when I ran "snap refresh skype" it told me there are no updates. Thanks for your help.– PavelFeb 21, 2018 at 16:56

3Mine said there was an update, and after restarting it seems there isn't one. Possibly a glitch their end.– popeyFeb 21, 2018 at 17:01
