Skype4COM, is it alive? if not, is there an alternative?

Question

Skype

Hello everyone,
is there an alternative to Skype4COM?
Everything that I find in Google is either outdated or the link is broken.
How can I automatically answer a call? change camera? and listen to what is sent to the chat?
I want to do something like this here

Answer 1

Skype closed everything that is possible, so alas.

Answer 2

For a chat, through the web face of outlook, you can probably invent something.
I thought about it myself, but my hands did not reach.
Nothing else.

Answer 3

Today chats are open, calls are open - what exactly is closed?
