In the latest Skype, the ad bar above conversations is quite annoying, so I’ll share how to get rid of it.

Exit Skype completely, then in File Explorer navigate to

C:/Users/YourUsername/App Data/Roaming/Skype/YourSkypename

folder, then open the config.xml file and find the following line, and delete it entirely:

<AdvertPlaceholder>1</AdvertPlaceholder>

Save it, then right-click the file, properties, and check the „Read-only” option, click OK, and you can start Skyping without ads 🙂
