So they are going to monitor Skype?? That is going to inhibit a lot of calls. Also, medical practices have been expanding their use of Skype to “see” patients rather than requiring an office visit. Would Microsoft be violating HIPAA provisions?

Someone would have to agree to the ToS in order to use the software. They would be responsible, not Microsoft, IMO

Depositions involving a patient’s health and medical conditions are often conducted over Skype. Words pertaining to private parts could be spoken.

I am pretty sure that Microsoft monitoring them would be a HIPAA violation.

Likely M$ will be sued over that.

Skype is not Hippa compliant. There are video platforms that are, but you must pay for them.
