Skype

Skype is a communications application originally developed by Skype Technologies and now owned by Microsoft, offering voice calls, video calls, instant messaging, and file sharing over the internet. It serves individuals, families, and businesses seeking to connect across distances without relying solely on traditional phone networks. Users can make calls to other Skype users for free, while paid credit or subscription plans allow calls to landlines and mobile numbers worldwide. The platform supports group video calls, screen sharing, and integration with Microsoft accounts, making it useful for both personal conversations and remote work collaboration. It is available across desktop, mobile, and web platforms, allowing users to stay connected regardless of device.
