After upgrading Skype 7.x to 8.x, the timestamps of messages are shown in the "American" format (like "8:55 PM") instead of 24 hour format ("20:55"). I have Windows 7 and all other software uses the system setting of 24 hour format.

Is there a way to adjust that?

The similar older questions (Change the date time format in Skype chat and How to change time format in Skype) are about older Skype versions that apparently behave differently and those solutions do not work with Skype 8.

  • I would extend a question to dates, which also seem to be displayed American style (M/D/Y) and not according to current locale. I am on Linux Skype 8.26.0.70.

    Skype 8 is missing some obvious features. It's surprising Microsoft released it as such, it feels like some alpha version. Aug 5, 2018 at 3:03

It doesn't appear that it can, but it looks like it's been submitted to be added in the future. Check out the Microsoft Website Here

In a nutshell, Microsoft agreed that they see the value in it and will work on implementing it in the future.

    It boggles the mind that a Microsoft product ignores the basic Windows settings...
