The classic Skype incoming call ringtone, a short melodic chime for an incoming video call. Creators use it for notification jokes and retro internet edits.

This is the familiar Skype incoming call sound, a gentle electronic ringtone built from a short repeating melody that rises and falls in a calm, almost musical pattern. It begins softly, repeats in a loop, and carries the slightly distant, digital tone of an early video calling app. Hearing it instantly suggests someone is trying to reach you, which makes it perfect for moments of surprise, interruption or missed connection. In edits it feels nostalgic rather than urgent, bringing back the era of desktop calls and slow-loading chats while still working as a clear notification cue.

Skype launched in 2003 as a desktop video calling service, and its distinctive incoming call ringtone became one of the most recognisable sounds of early online communication. As video calls became part of everyday life, the chime spread through prank videos, reaction clips and comedy edits, where it instantly signalled that someone was calling. Even after Skype declined in popularity, creators kept using it as shorthand for an unexpected call, a missed connection or a throwback to the early internet era.

Professionele tip voor gebruik

✦ AI

Drop it just before a character answers or gets interrupted, and let one full ring play before cutting to the reaction. Pair it with a simple on-screen call window, and avoid layering it over music or dialogue, since its quiet melody gets lost quickly.
