OK. On recommendation, I installed Mint 20.1 and I'm still getting the error message!

Post the error message so we can see if it's exactly the same or slightly different.

May not help, but you can try:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com 1624268195 

Code: Select all

 sudo apt update

Thanks Sleeper12. I used the initial input you quoted....

"This might update the key:

Code: Select all

curl https://repo.skype.com/data/SKYPE-GPG-KEY | sudo apt-key add - "


Seems to have done the trick.
