Skype Reviews

Summary: Skype was the first software that I got to know for video calls when I was a child. Later on, when I became a part of corporate, I started using Skype for its other features also. They should reduce the price of their product. I have seen Skype improve over the years in terms of features and customer support and I hope to see the same in the future.

Positive: Pretty much does the required work. Never had a problem in voice calls or video calls in the context of quality considering that I don not have a good internet connection.

Negative: User Interface can be improved a little bit as it sometimes gets a little choppy when majority of system's resources are utilized in other processes. Also, they should reduce the price of their product so that more and more users can use Skype to its full potential.

Summary: Skype is very easy to use and is known around the world as a good way to communicate with people from around the world via video chat.

Positive: Skype is very easy to use and has been very solid software with not many cons. When communicating from different countries it has been my go-to to keep in touch with people.

Negative: Sometimes it is a little glitchy and feels a little dated.

Summary: Skype allows employees of our real estate company to easily communicate with each other, regardless of their geographical location. Employees can share files, presentations, and other important documents in real time, facilitating collaboration and decision making. Skype also allows employees to make real-time audio and video calls, which is especially useful for team meetings and client presentations. Another way that Skype has helped communication within our real estate business is through its instant messaging feature. Employees can send quick and direct messages to each other, allowing for clear and effective communication. In addition, Skype also allows the creation of chat groups, which is especially useful for team projects or keeping employees up to date on the latest developments in the company. Overall, Skype has proven to be an invaluable tool for communication within a real estate business. It enables easy and effective communication between employees, improves collaboration and decision-making, and makes it easier to stay up-to-date on the latest company developments. If a real estate company wants to improve its internal communication and collaboration, Skype is definitely a tool to consider.

Positive: The first thing I liked about Skype was group video conferencing, users can make group video calls with up to 50 people at the same time. This is especially useful for online work meetings, virtual classes, or keeping in touch with friends and family in different parts of the world. Additionally, Skype allows users to share their screen during a group video call, making it easier for team collaboration and problem solving. Another positive aspect that can be highlighted is the extensive integration of Skype, Skype integrates with other Microsoft applications, such as Outlook and Office, which makes it easy to organize meetings and collaborate on projects online. In addition, Skype also integrates with popular platforms like Facebook and PayPal, allowing users to connect with friends and conduct financial transactions securely and efficiently. It also integrates with other Microsoft services like OneDrive, allowing users to share files and collaborate on projects online. I liked Skype's messaging system, users can send text messages, pictures and files to anyone in their Skype contact list. In addition, Skype's chat function is very secure, since all messages are end-to-end encrypted to guarantee the privacy and security of the user, this function is particularly useful for work meetings, interviews or to keep in touch with friends and family around the world. Additionally, Skype uses audio compression technology to minimize quality loss, even on slow or unstable networks.

Negative: The first negative aspect of Skype is the high consumption that it has on absolutely all devices, it is a fairly heavy platform and its consumption is even higher when it is running in the background, which causes slowness on the computer or mobile device when it is being used. using Skype while in other applications. Another negative aspect is that there are many local numbers that you cannot call if you do not have credits within Skype, this is very negative since I would love to be able to communicate to any local number without having to recharge more credits for these calls. Skype also presents some connectivity problems, which sometimes causes calls to be interrupted unexpectedly when inactivity or without sharing audio has elapsed for a long time, it is necessary to improve the stability of calls within Skype, currently there are many connectivity problems in these calls, on several occasions my calls have been interrupted and I have had to start them again. These are the only negative things I have noticed about this platform, as most of the features it offers are very stable and provide constant communication.

Summary: Skype is a conferencing application with abundance of features aside from the key features like audio and video conferencing. It is robust and secure to use.

Positive: - Skype helps in connecting with people through chat, audio and video in part of the world.
- Along with conferencing, it also lets the user exchange files and documents during calls.
- The navigation animation makes the navigating within the application smooth and fluid.
- It easily integrates with other Microsoft's application making it a great tool to use especially on Windows computers.

Negative: - The user interface of the application feels very cluttered, instead of introducing more and more features they should focus on improving the key features like audio-video quality and user experience.

Summary: My overall experience with Skype has been fair. In our company it is absolutely necessary to be able to transfer files during each call or video call, as this complements it, and makes the video call more satisfactory. My experience in video calls has been really good, since I have had the ability to communicate in a stable way with anyone no matter where that person is, however, I hope to have a more complete experience when Skype optimizes the system file transaction. The Skype UI is totally comfortable, both in its version for computers and in its version for mobile phones, it is a UI that can be used without feeling any discomfort, and all the sections are completely ordered so that the user can have a more comfortable experience. simple. I hope that Skype can optimize that small negative detail that it has, since it is an excellent platform, with great potential to communicate with various business entities.

Positive: In our company, the general communication of all employees and also communication with customers is extremely important. Skype has been a very effective platform to develop a totally stable communication between different work groups or with a group of clients. What I like the most about Skype is that it is a platform that gives me excellent video quality when I make video calls to my work colleagues or video calls to my clients, this video quality has been one of the best I've seen, since It allows me to have fluid communication and it also allows me to have a perfect visualization of the participants of the video call. In addition, I also like the fact that I can use Skype from my cell phone and be able to make calls from anywhere, this application is completely optimized, it allows me to continue on the call that is in progress even when I change applications, that means that I can make use of more applications while I participate in the call in progress. This application also allows me to make video calls without having an internet connection with such high speed, it is enough to have an internet speed of approximately 6mb, so that Skype works perfectly and the call can be fluent.

Negative: The strongest negative criticism I have about Skype is regarding the file transaction system. I previously mentioned the excellent ability of this platform to keep us in touch and allow us to interact more often within the company or with customers, however, I have had a very bad experience in the file transaction. Each video call or call has a button where files or images can be shared with the participants of the video call, and these files will be reflected in the upper part of the video call so that all participants have quick access, however, the process Uploading of the files is too late, all the files that I have tried to upload take minutes and minutes to be completely uploaded and then be shared with the other participants. I would like Skype to offer me a much faster file transaction, which does not take as long to process the files as it is somewhat annoying.

Summary: From 1 to 10, my overall experience would be an 8. I think that Skype has performed very well in its application for computers, because it has allowed me to communicate with all my co-workers and has also provided me with really stable communication, however, I think they should improve the mobile application to be able to have a similar performance to my experience from the computer. Skype was very easy to use and the fluidity of its interface was really impressive.

Positive: What I like the most about Skype is that it is a platform that provides me with a perfect video quality for each video call or each video conference that I'm making, this has allowed me to have good visibility of all the participants of each video conference. In addition, another feature that I like is that Skype provides me with a highly optimized chat system during each video conference, this has allowed me to interact in several ways at the same time.

Negative: Something I really hate about Skype is its mobile app on my Android device. This mobile app is very poorly optimized, because it does not allow me to continue in the call or videoconference if I minimize the app or if I enter another application. I wish I could continue to enjoy Skype while doing other activities on my cell phone.

Summary: Overall this application is very useful for making online video calls, sharing files while doing video chat and while doing work.
But there are many other applications which gives you same or better experience.

Positive: There are so many pros to mention here like:
- It is very easy to understand and use this application and its functions.
- Different emojis and functions makes it enjoyable to chat with anyone.
- You can share your screen and share any files, the best thing about this application.
- It has a very great video and audio quality.
- During this pandemic it helps us to connect all over the world.
- I also like the Do NotDisturb and other features in this application, makes it easy to work without getting disturb.

Negative: There are few cons to be noted like:
- It has a very old type of design and functions to perform on, should focus new functions and design.
- Sometime lags, makes my computer slow.

Summary: Laggy communication can be a menace at times. Developers need to work on future updates to resolve these issues.

Positive: - Crisp and clear video calling.
- Easy and simple interface.
- Screen sharing in video calls.
- Share media files.

Summary: While other online programs have gained popularity in the recent months given the state of the world, Skype remains the go to platform for keeping in contact with family and friends.

Positive: Skype has been essential to keeping connected to family and friends across the world, which is more important now than ever. It has provided an easy to use platform to keep in touch with any family members, young and old, and makes it easy by not requiring passwords, call in numbers, etc.

Negative: Connection can be an issue at times, but that is mostly on the user to make sure they have a good internet connection. This is not fault of the program.

Summary: It is a great free online calling service and it the best for online communication and chatting.

Positive: -Easy to use
-Screen Sharing feature
-International phone calls
-You can stick to the free plan

Negative: -Lag even if you have a strong connection
- Hard to share large files

Summary: It's good but I think this platform is on his way out, unless having a mayor change adding more features I won't expect to be seeing Skype for much time longer.

Positive: I like the familiarity of this platform, its been here for years now, it's friendly to use it's like using a better version of MSN messenger.

Negative: A lot of the users are migrating for new platforms and it's losing relevancy.

Summary: My experience with Skype is really good, Skype is the application that introduced video calling to me, it was widely used sometime back. Now there are a lot of other players in the domain who offer more valued service and features for a competitive price. Skype is obviously of the best but there are certain areas of improvement.

Positive: (+) Great design, easy to work with.
(+) Syncing of contacts is good.
(+) Translation of speech from one language to another is a very cool feature.
(+) Good video and audio quality in most of the calls.
(+) Push to talk feature comes in very handy.
(+) Screensharing is good.

Negative: (-) Fails to work in low internet availability situations.
(-) No notification feature for unanswered calls.
(-) No consistency in calls. Lag in calls can be observed in some calls.
(-) Pricing is a bomb.

Summary: It's a good app that has VoIP video call and IM services bundled in one app. If WhatsApp isn't your thing, Skype has it covered.

Positive: It comes integrated with Windows and on mobile doesn't take a lot of time to setup and get it running. The video clarity is good and texts get delivered promptly.

Negative: Might be annoying to some people who don't use Skype that it comes included with the OS. Although it doesn't consume much memory or CPU usage.

It could use a UI overhaul.

Summary: A pretty fun and lightweight solution for webchatting with friends. If you're using something like Slack or Discord already though, there's not as much need for Skype.

Positive: I like how Skype works on all three of my laptops and my phone, without needing me to log out from any one of them. I use its screensharing function to watch my friends play games, and the audio is always clear. Being able to take screenshots of each other for the derpy moments is an extra plus.

Negative: On Windows 10, Skype sometimes gives annoying notifications, and I never did understand the Calling function (where you can buy minutes or something).

Summary: I use Skype to conduct interviews. The process for connecting with people is streamlined and simple although sometimes call quality is not great.

Positive: Skype is very simple to use and connect with people from all around the globe. It is generally reliable and with decent video quality as well. It's very accessible to many people and is good for conducting one on one meetings.

Negative: The user interface could use some improvements and the call quality is not always reliable. I've had many calls dropped or disconnected.
