Is skype messaging removed from the message app in insider preview?

Hi!

I've got insider on both my laptop and my phone (SP3 & L950XL).
both on 14342, phone on 1004 atm..,

My question is if skype is removed from the app or i've missed something? Do i need to configure something to get it running again?

Skype in the messaging app was awsome...

Yes, it was removed due to too much iussues and negative feedbacks received (mine too). MS is going to release the new Skype UWP

Wish I knew this before jumping on the Insider ring this past week! Hope the UWP app comes soon... Skype takes ages to load on my 640XL and I loved the skype integration!
