As was said before, VLC has supported Opus since about 2012:

The IETF version is used in WebRTC and I have to wonder why we still
have apps to download and install when it can all be done in a WebRTC
compliant browser now. Maybe it's easier to monetize an app than a page.
If everybody did go with Opus it would also mean that, at least for
audio, interoperability would be quite possible. Of course once you get
interoperable voice over IP, all kinds of FCC regulations kick in under
the CVAA so there is some incentive for all the players to remain as
separate islands.

It's been available for the last four years, and Skype themselves were partly
responsible for pushing it through the IETF. I have no idea why it isn't part
of Skype yet. FaceTime audio uses AAC Voice, and LTE uses AMR-WB; both have
royalties associated with them. Yet, for some reason, Opus is still mainly
only used by Open Source, WebRTC, and SIP.
