Skype is a widely recognized and popular communication platform that provides a range of services, primarily focused on voice and video calling, instant messaging, and online meetings. It was founded in 2003 by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis and was later acquired by Microsoft in 2011.
Skype allows users to make voice and video calls over the internet, connecting people across the globe in real-time. It offers both free and paid services, with the ability to call other Skype users for free, while also offering options for making international calls to landlines and mobile phones at affordable rates.
One of Skype’s distinguishing features is its ease of use and cross-platform compatibility.
