How do I set my status to “Away” in the new version of Skype? Question 2: Skype version 7.59.37 had an “Away” status whereas Skype 8.11 (or 8.12) does not. How does one keep version 8.11 (or any newer version) from automatically updating without my authorization? Note: Your terms of service states that I may not be allowed to sign in to Skype if my older version is deprecated but this is not the case here and Beginning December 1, that version automatically updates to Skype for Mac (version 8.11) even though I clear the “keep Skype up to date” checkbox in Skype for Mac Classic settings.
Question 1: I was using Skype for Mac Classic (version 7.59.37).
