Skype is an excellent and easy-to-use chat program that I recommend to anyone looking for a remote meeting coordinator, supports a wide range of operating systems

Skype is a special program with a lot of features such as: - All versions are free - Easy to download and use - Good quality of chatting and messaging, easy and practical - The program has a high level of security - Old messages can be accessed even after 3 years

In order to excel, it would be good to pay attention to some details, for example: - A clear change in the quality of services after Microsoft included Skype - Video conferencing can include 100 people, but when it exceeds 20, the quality of sound and image decreases and the program malfunctions a little

Out of all the alternatives we tested, Skype offers the best balance of usability and features. Other apps are simply heavy and overkill for what we need. It's light, fast, and easy to use. Skype has become our top choice for IMs & quick video calls!

1) "Join via link" feature for hosting calls works effortlessly and excellently. 2) Love the simple & clean interface, and its consistency across different devices. 3) Uncluttered dialer with ultra-fast contact recognition. 4) The "Moderated Group Chats" feature are superbly helpful for big organizations. 5) Their custom emojis are just iconic, distinctive, and has more personality!

1) Screensharing is hit-and-miss. Oftentimes the shared screen is grainy and severely lagging despite the stable gigabit connection. 2) Calls get canceled out when dual-dialed (both parties try to call each other at the same time). 3) Can't get it to integrate well with most calendar apps. 4) Skype-to-Phone feature doesn't work with most local numbers despite having them under the same region of our subscription. 5) Text search feature is cripplingly weak and slow to match results. 6) Media manager needs fixing - previously shared files end up corrupted and unretrievable at times.

Great but some features could be improved

We have been using Skype since before COVID, one thing I really like is the confirmation messages, showing that the other party already reviewed your message. Overall, it was a great asset during our work from home phase, but since then our company introduced us to Slack. Nevertheless, Skype is still in use by some teams inside our company for internal communication platform. We use the most of embedded options, like short text message, direct conversations, conferences and video chats.

But the main issue is that regardless how great your bandwidth is (you could have up to 1GBPS) and you'll still have connexion issues, making the reliability of the app quite low compared to others like Slack.

With the help of skype, I solved many issues in the company. 1. Communication tools 2. Video calling, voice calling, video recording. 3. Between meetings can join people. 4. sharing the resources like files, pdf, images and many more things.

there is a list of features I like about skype. 1. Global customer, company widly use of skype. 2. Provide features like Calling, Video Calling Recording. 3. Chatting Searching old history possible. 4. Support in Web also. one can use as well in browsers.

need to improve this thing. 1. lack of voice in video calling, voice calling. 2. lack of screen sharing with voice. 3. software takes too load sometimes to get old chats.

Skype was easy to use and is not expensive. We really saw benefits from the video conferencing and screen sharing features. We even used Skype to train new employees. For most applications this is a great program and I would recommend it to anyone as long as they don't need more than 50-100 participants while conferencing.

Skype is low cost, easy to use no matter what type of device you're on, several helpful features for presentations or conferencing, and you can easily use it with other software. I do enjoy using Skype and it is easy to navigate.

The main con is that while the audio is usually clear, white noise or background noise often causes problems. Its not clear what the solution is and it's hard to contact customer support. Another con is that if you're a large group or company and need to include more than 50 or so participants it can be difficult and I believe it only allows 100 participants total.

While using the program, I can share the link and talk to people who are not registered in the program. This provides great convenience for the people I will interview during my research. Apart from that, one of the advantages is that my number is not visible. I also consider it a nice feature to have the opportunity to record it.

It is a big disadvantage that the recorded videos are stored for 30 days and you cannot access them again. Because sometimes I forget to save the video, when I look back, it is deleted from there, so my data becomes garbage. Moreover, I did not have this information and unfortunately I lost some videos because of this. This warning may be given to the user when the video starts. That way, I can have knowledge without researching it. Except when I search for people from the search button, they cannot always be found by name and surname. The program asks us for a live connection. Instead, I would like it to be a more accessible program to people. Also, unfortunately, the opportunity to teach on Skype is very limited. Unfortunately, it is not possible to convey a subject using the board.

The experience with skype is still good. It is an indispensable software in the world of communication.

Skype is a software widely used by businesses and individuals. It is free to use and it helps to create a culture of team communication. In addidtion, this is a great tool to use for remote workers, telecommuters and anyone who wants to talk on camera without having to set up a full-blown studio. It is also useful for organizing calls and sharing ecards.

Sype is a great tool. The only problem I have with it is that it takes too long to solve a problem in many other areas. But you have to admit that it does in the end.

Skype helps me keep up with my team without the need to be physically present; streamline the information.

What I like the most is how the Software flows, it is pleasing to the eye and to the ear, it is not annoying, it is dynamic and versatile, comprehensive and modern.

It should be able to be configured more according to taste. But it is excellent software.

I love the interface a lot. I think Skype and all its customizations. I also think most companies are under-rating Skype for their business needs.

I haven't seen any reason not to like it apart from the fact of its unpopularity.

Skype was a great app even just a few years ago, it was used by most people for international calls and conferencing but today it is fading as they have raised their service prices. I would consider comparing it with other apps before using their services as there are many cheaper even free alternatives today.

We mostly used Skype of making international calls and also a few occasions for video chatting and sharing screens for demos, however Skype raised their prices too high so we envtually dropped this app as there are other apps still offering free international calls. We also replaced Skype eventually with another app for

It was first very affordable to make international calls with it but they raised their prices too high

I've used Skype a lot to make video calls to other states in the country, it's a pioneering tool that has helped many people.

The experience I had was generally very good, skype has a lot of features for video calling and calls. You can share screens, translate links, and more. All this in a practical and free way.

Despite being an old and widely used platform, nowadays social networks are much more improved than before, so you can make video calls and calls for free with instagram, facebook and other social networks, so in my social cycle, people don't use it that much. I believe Skype could invest more in marketing and innovation, encourage more usage, as competitors are gaining more users every day.

There has not been a single day in the last 2 years, where an online meeting has been hold and Skype is not used. Skype is a very powerful software, and majority of the organizations, shcools, companies, everyone need to learn to keep up with this age. In the previous years remote jobs have become very popular with particular regard to the Covid-19 pandemic. Skype has been simple, and most effective - there is no doubt it saved many lives by letting people worldwide to get in touch with each other via online. Overall this software is indispensable and very much indeed practical to the everyday life.

All my co-workers use Skype for online meetings and conferences and for business negotiations. I love that I can easily call people and receive calls. I personally find the screenshare option remarkably useful, espeically when I have to hold presentations or teaching online. It is quite easy to search for people and also tremendously practical for making a call abroad.

As with all technology there are a few drawbacks. I think some of the functions have the potential to be more user friendly. Inserting a video could be easier to do. Currently there are some bugs where the screen gets frozen during online meetings. It has to be mentioned that, controlling other devices is still impossible, but would be handy when it come to train my new co-workers or in case of attending at an IT course.

Old school Skype user, at least 11 years, so I have been the evolution of the platform. Of course after the pandemic, Zoom is the app who took the leadership of video conferencing , and Skype has been relegated. Video recordings are difficult to start / stop and the quality is very bad. I used to use a software called Skype Call Recorder by a third party company but latest updates cut the compatibility. Not being able to record a call makes you think twice about using Skype or another platform. There is a stigma attached to Skype since it was bought by Microsoft. Users feel that their priority is to develop Teams, so they don't feel confident enough of the quality and stability of the platform, and that affects the decision to buy a plan or the whole 365 Office subscription.

Old school video conference software. The brand itself it's easy to identify for old generations and make it easy for them to relate the brand with online video call and video conferencing. Since I have an old account, I still have the option to make a meeting with several users for an unlimited time. The NDI integration is great if you want to bring a Skype interview to streaming platforms like Ecamm or OBS, however, it takes a lot of resources, so you better have a good computer to handle all that.

After the pandemic hit, Zoom took the leadership by offering a lighter, resources friendly and more reliable platform with better results in terms of video quality and stability. I don't feel that Skype evolved successfully in this new era by not adapting their product to the new needs and demands.

As a Line-3 IT support engineer, I use Skype all day to resolve the issues of my clients. I have been using Skype for free for more than 10 years.

It is very easy to use. Most companies in the world are using Skype for daily review meetings, client meetings, and web conferences. VOIP quality is one of the best in the world. Furthermore, Skype can be embedded into a webpage. HD Video quality is outstanding and also screen and file-sharing features are fantastic.

Sometimes connections are dropped and I need to reconnect the ongoing calls

I use 2 versions of Skype, the mobile version and the desktop version, what I like about both versions is that they have the option to use a dark mode, which makes it more comfortable on the eyes and allows me to spend more time without damaging my eyes , the notifications are unobtrusive and it allows me to set my status to available or busy, this is very useful when I'm on my pc and I don't want any interruptions.

I have used Skype for many years, perhaps many don’t use it, but personally I think it is a great software, it is stable, it allows you to create groups, put a name and a certain image to the group and add contacts by email or by username , Skype offers several useful tools to make communication more interactive, something I like is that it allows me to share the screen, and make unlimited calls to conventional numbers for a very low rate.

Skype is excellent for calls and chat, the only thing I've had problems with is video calls, you need a good connection to be stable and fluid, otherwise it may show some lags.

User friendly interface. Good voice quality.

The limit on adding people to a call is enough, can be used by big groups. The voice quality on calling and conferences is good. It is possible to share documents via chat. We have colleagues in different places on the globe and still we can make calls without delays.

Some 3pp addtional plugins can be added to the tool to make it more attractive.

Skype is all time best product until there was not other competitors in market. But Still Skype is good in messaging. - group texting is best thing we have - one of major features i like is that auto transalation to talk with people from other conutry

need some improvement for video conferencing + sometimes translation issues due to multiple words mismatch.

Skype was my Facebook or Twitter back in the day. It was the way that I connected with others and it was a solid platform to be on. I didn't stop using it because of any particular gripes or issues, but because my friends moved on to other programs, and I followed. Overall a good program if you want to chat with people.

It was a way for me to connect to my friends and relatives, and also allowed me to chat in real time over voice video chat. Coming from the era of Instant Messenger, this was a huge step up and a great tool to use. I'm sure it's still great for personal and work use, but I haven't used it in several years.

It was relatively simplistic. That being said, I wasn't using all of it's features, and it has likely evolved a lot since I last used it.

I've been using Skype for a very long time for family, formal and educational meetings, I think it's a really good place to connect with people far away, I've never had problems with Skype, I find it easy to use, and I like that I can open Skype when I'm out of the office or home, when I'm In travel, for example, it is possible to use a mobile phone and meetings take place through Skype easily and without obstruction.

You feel that Skype is a quiet and serious place to conduct meetings, especially official ones, it is old, ancient and irreplaceable, I like that it can be downloaded to all kinds of devices such as computers, laptops, etc., it is easy to use in all fields, and it is also a useful place for education and study, I personally chose it since It's a long time coming and it's hard to let go of it.

It bothers me that Skype does not market itself, I think that it did not get what it deserves to spread, there are other popular applications that are inferior to Skype.

I've been using skype for both business and pleasure and Ill be totally honest there's nothing like them on the market. skype has been around for a few years and their services are getting better and better, we all know time is money and I can guarantee you if you use this application you wont have to worry about procrastination, being a long time user of skype I've mastered the art of speech and getting straight to the point in my conversations whilst having fun using the application.

skype is not only the best but it is an application that everyone should have tried downloaded to their devices, i love the peace of mind easy talk features and its free when calling other peoples who have downloaded it to their personal devices.

calls can be a little intermittent at times

Skype helped me to stay connected with whole team. Realtime messages and easy user interface helps to use it easily.

Skype allows to communicate and make free high defination calls easily. It's very easy to install in smart phones and personal computers. Skypes makes it easy to search people, messages and media files shared in past.Realtime notifications are the best in industry.Call recording is a plus.

Skype keeps recorded calls for 30 days only this is the only con I felt.

1. Skype is still the best for One on One messaging and Group messaging. 2. Along with Zoom, Skype turned out to be a blessing for Work From Home employees. 3. Easy connectivity with Colleagues if added to groups. don't have to search for them every now and then.

1. Ease of connectivity with peers. 2. Smooth and intuitive user interface. 3. Amalgamation of Skype with other Microsoft products. 4. Feature of Adding colleagues in Groups. 5. Dialing to phone option.

1. Screensharing takes a longer time. It keeps on loading for the person at the other end. 2. Team meetings through skype are bad. Audio clarity is bad. 3. Calls are not instant. It takes time to connect to the called colleague.

I used skype when I was arranging consultations at the university, I answered exams through the skype application. I made conference calls with my friends. The video quality of the call is excellent, it's easy to find new contacts, many people use it. I would love to be able to send larger documents or videos via Skype

Real time chat ,realtime notifications, conferencing are the most useful feature.Very easy use of aplication with clear explanation.

File sharing can be better.I would like to share bigger files in skype.

In Skype i like too many features, i am explaining few - Best and first one is Emojis' (Skype has cute and awesome emojis) - Screen sharing (During covid most used feature in cooperate ) - Instant messaging - Audio and smoth video and conference call - Secure document sharing

I used skype too frequently, I usually faced notification missing issue. -someone ping me in group or one to one , some times i did not receive real time notification - in Calling if network got fluctuated , call got disconnect or just in ideal state where we were not able to hear each other.

Overall I like Skype it’s very easy to use & navigate thru.

I like the fact that it has the option to call, chat & screen share all with the tap of an icon. I also like the fact that you can see the status of everyone you’re working with, such as, if they are on a conference call, out of the office, etc. As well as, & how long ago they last logged in.

I don’t like the face that while you are screen sharing you cannot see the chat. So therefore, if you are screen sharing during a presentation you will not know if someone is trying to communicate with you.
