The Skype app on Ubuntu 18.04 doesn't start when using the Community Theme snap Wayland (communitheme) theme. It automatically takes me to the lock screen

Also, clicking on Skype's file sharing icon freezes the app; after a while it shuts down spontaneously. Drag and drop a file for sharing works.

          You probably aren't using the latest version of Skype. Try installing the Skype snap package with:



          sudo snap install skype --classic 


          If that doesn't work try installing the latest version of Skype from the insider channel.



          sudo snap install skype --classic --channel insider/stable
