From the Skype Home panel you can view the online Skype and Facebook contacts and your address book. You can easily change the display of your contacts from the vertical alignment to the grid view with just a mouse click.

VoIP calling and instant messaging utility

During our testing period, Skype managed to impress us with high quality video and audio calls that are made using the Voice over IP technology.

However, you will be able to enjoy high quality video calls only if all participants have fast internet connections (at least 1.5MBps) and HD cameras. While engaged in a video or audio call, you can also send instant messages, share contacts, transfer files and take snapshots of the video image.

In addition, Skype enables its users to easily call landlines and mobile phones anywhere in the world and enjoy the same high-quality reception.

By purchasing the Premium package for a modest price per month, you will be able enjoy the Screen share feature, make video conferences with up to 10 persons and place unlimited calls to a country of your choice.

SMS and Facebook integration

Thanks to the Facebook integration you can check your Facebook news feed, post text status updates and call your friends if their Skype ID or phone number is displayed on their profile.

Although Skype allows its users to send SMS messages, at various prices according to the region they want to reach, the sender can't receive an answer via a SMS.

Video communication app for multiple platforms

Everything considered, Skype is a trustworthy video chat client designed to make it as easy as possible for you to stay in touch with your family, as well as effortlessly share files with your friends and colleagues.
