Microsoft did briefly provide a download of “Skype Classic” (currently at v7.58 on my Mac). I can’t see this on the Microsoft web site but searching for “download skype classic mac” gives some results. Clearly at some point Microsoft will turn off support for “classic”.

Skype for Business on Mac is the all new client that provides great communication experiences for Apple users. Features like one-click join, edge-to-edge video, and full screen sharing give you a superior Skype Meetings experience. About Skype for Mac Skype is a little program for making free calls over the internet to anyone else who also has Skype. It's free and easy to download and use, and works with most computers.
