Overall I would like to recommend this software as part of your communication with the clients, its easy to use and decent. When I am using this software its king of professional because it offers easy to understand function and clear audio and video in times of conference meetings.
Pros
In my job we usually use this software to communicate with the clients for their concerns and request, Skype is one of the recommended software for communication for me because it has the professionalism and decent concept. Also it's easy to retrieve files and images because of the features it has. Also this is useful in times of conference call and meetings.
Cons
I would like to rest to lengthen the file and image displays sometimes files are removed within a months but sometimes we need to backtrack a file and we cannot download the files itself because its already deleted.

Classic conversation but the app is heavy
Reviewed on 26/11/2024
Pros
It's been around for a long time and works across a range of devices and scenarios, even to POTS.
Cons
The interface (and the app) is getting heavier. It is not trivial to keep it running unless we use it all the time.

I have used it when the Business side needs to connect with IT folks such as myself, otherwise I avoid it and use Teams
Pros
It's simple and easy to use. The interface is much like older chats like AOL, etc.
Cons
It doesn't do screen share very well and the call quality is usually subpar compared to newer offerings such as Teams and Zoom.

i use this application a lot in my work, its tools meet my needs, it's easy to understand and it's very intuitive.
Pros
it's an app I've been using for many years, I use the computer version more, but on mobile it's also very helpful, it's a reliable service and its tools are easy to understand, I like the status options, especially the invisible one, which allows us privacy on certain occasions.
Cons
Because it is a service that is often used free of charge, there can be many problems with the connection.

My Overall experience with skype is awesome and appreciating the likes that I can make video calls, voice calls, messaging and even make group video calls either for work or family meet ups
Pros
I love many things about skype! One of the things I like most about Skype is the ability to connect with friends and family from anywhere in the world. It allows me to face-to-face conversations, even when I cant be physically together. Skype also offers a wide range of futures like screen sharing, file sharing, and group calls, which make it a versatile and convenient communication tool.
Cons
I can't speak for everyone, but I find the user interface of Skype to be a bit overwhelming at times. especially for new users.

Basic Conference Tool
Reviewed on 09/07/2024
Pros
Everyone knows how to use it especially in markets where it is still a dominant voip tool.
I am glad Microsoft is still keeping at afloat as many small businesses such as dealerships use it.
Some EU markets are still active on Skype and it helps to stay connected to customers this way.
Cons
With years it became worse and much more integrated into other Microsoft tools.
Having ability to buy minutes and call locally is great, but the quality is not always there.

Overall Skype is a very reliable and safe video conference platform. It's easy and straightforward to use.
Pros
Back in the days Skype was the only video conference solution. In fact instead of saying let's video chat, I still say "let's skype!". Skype offers great video and audio quality and I like that you have a username you can share with people and add them to your contacts. In addition to this Skype offers great workplace solutions for larger teams that are sensitive about information security.
Cons
I have nothing bad to say about Skype, over the years it kept improving its quality and offers a great video conferencing platform
