The Skype icon on my task bar shows up with the S logo and a number 3 in it in gold. Does it mean 3 copies of Skype are open or that I am using version 3 of Skype? I only want to run 1 copy of Skype at a time.

Skype only allows a single instance of itself.– RamhoundFeb 4, 2016 at 19:57

what OS are you using? If you are in Windows, hover over the icon and see if 3 previews show up, if only 1 shows up, only 1 is running. If you updated recently it could be that program created a new shortcut and didn't delete the old one first. As far as I know Skype is on version 7+.– Cand3rFeb 4, 2016 at 19:58

Just dawned on me that you may have 3 new messages or contact requests or something.– Cand3rFeb 4, 2016 at 20:05

-1: Simply Googling "Skype Icon Number" provides the answer multiple times.. community.skype.com/t5/Windows-archive/…, community.skype.com/t5/Windows-archive/…, community.skype.com/t5/iOS-archive/Little-orange-number-one/…, etc.– Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007Feb 4, 2016 at 20:47

It's not the version number but the count of unread messages you have:
To get rid of it, open Skype and click on Recent -> Mark all viewed
