may be for you - for me Whatsapp has no alternative, all my business contacts use it.

doesn't whatsapp require revealing the actual phone number?

You can share contacts with a QR code and expire them after use, but the phone number still the contact information that's shared.
The most appropriate alternative to Skype is just renaming it to Teams (everyone is reachable on Teams in the same way they were on Skype).
If you’d rather have WhatsApp, the best thing to do is just create a new WhatsApp field and let people populate that if they want to.
XenForo no longer ships any contact fields by default. New installs don’t have any of the old ones we used to add (no Skype, Twitter or Facebook) and we aren’t planning to add new ones at this point.

is there a doc how to do that?
Control panel > Users > User customization > Custom user fields > Add field
It should be fairly self explanatory, and you can reference the prior ones if needed.

I actually agree with that, just use a custom field, and yes Teams is the replacement app for Skype so it makes sense.
I use many Custom fields and they are easily made

But renaming it would mean existing Skype input would show for Teams. I would think new field creation would be better.

Old Skype URLs automatically forward to Team addresses if the account still exists, just rename it and be done.
