Skype Reviews

We use Skype to communicate externally with other peer organizations. Notably we have also used Skype to communicate with job applicants in other countries. As a large organization I am sure that other offices are using Skype on campus. Skype fills a void for a reliable face to face communication platform that makes it feel like you are having a casual conversation with others without the need to be present. In a previous role I used Skype's chat or instant messaging features but no longer use that functionality. It worked well when I used it but it is my understanding they have beefed up this functionality.

Skype is being used by the entire University. We did not use Skype when I first began at UNT, but over time, all phones were digitized and linked through Skype on our computers. Skype helps our employees to be more efficient during the work day by reducing the amount of time it takes to contact other employees, schedule meetings, or determine someone's availability.

I use Skype to contact and work with other artists when they don’t have Apple products. I use it for interviews when a job far away needs to interview me face to face. I also use it for contacting my family who live far away.

I've been using Skype well before I started using social media. And through Skype, I've been able to meet so many friends and eventual customers. If not for Skype, my business wouldn't of gotten its foot in the door. I've spent countless hours talking with potential customers about my products through Skype's online audio and video calling. Customers sometimes want to talk with a human whether it be via voice and or voice and video. And since PC to PC calling is free, no one is charged a dime and I can converse with potential customers for however long I need to.

Skype is the best platform through which the whole company gets connected for meetings in quick succession.

It is used by almost every department in my organization. I use it for client meetings in the credit department. It makes communication very convenient with my outstation and NRI clients. Sometimes I need to present proposals to my clients, and this is not very effective through phone calls, so I use Skype for making those video calls.

We have used other software for informal communications, and Skype is superior to them because of its many features. It includes built-in screen sharing, and training or visual communication with other sites is much easier now.

I used Skype at my old company. We loved the ability to IM, the Outlook calendar integration, the ability to meet on demand or schedule future meetings. The emoticons were hit for our emoji lovers. We used it across the entire company, in which we had both remote employees and those working at headquarters. It made conversations easier.

Skype is heavily used by our nonprofit. We have program offices in ten countries so it is the most affordable option for all of our staff to communicate with each other.

I am a community manager of my group, Skype works perfectly in my area, since with the program I can make conferences from anywhere in the world and keep in touch with clients and future members of the organization, it solves problems of distance and schedules.

In my organization, Skype is used as a working tool to communicate both through company departments in a simple and effective way without necessarily resorting to the use of the telephone and to communicate with external or foreign offices without any kind of problem whether through chat or VoIP calls.

Our organization currently uses Skype as our official instant messaging application. Instant Messaging is a huge part of our communication amongst teams to both save time and have more efficiency. We need the ability to go in and out of chats quickly, screen share on and off frequently, add individuals to chat groups and remove them, and share files quickly. Skype meets all of these qualifications and more.

Skype is used by the CRM team which consists of three users. Other users in our marketing department use this as well to bring the total to around 10. Almost all of these members are working remotely so we use Skype daily for 90% of our video conferencing calls. In the CRM department, we use Skype for all video and phone calls. Calling and chatting with this service is the best we have used and we have tried out a number of video conferencing platforms over the years. It is a great product.

We utilize skype mainly for the instant messaging and the screen sharing capabilities. This allows individuals within our organization to quickly talk to each other without having to draft an email and wait for a response or call the person. This allows for individuals within the organization to multitask much easier throughout the day.

Skype is being used by several people in our organization on a need to use basis. Some in IT use it as a way to communicate and collaborate and swap files without having to have a physical meeting or conversation in a consolidated location.

Skype is great to easily connect with people across the country or on another continent. It's great because you can easily video chat for meetings, which is nice to be able to chat face to face even if you're not physically in the same room. In addition, it's easy to send documents for work over Skype to share with co-workers if you're collaborating. Lastly, what's great is you can share your screen on Skype, so if you're having technical difficulties or want to show something on your screen to people who you're talking with its a great feature.

We purchased the NewTek Talkshow 4000 which does full HD Skype with 4 simultaneous callers without delays and full quality over 90 percent of the time. It also has the capability of increasing the resources of the computers the callers are using to enhance the transmission quality. We are currently going through some testing at this time. I do have something to talk about though, the latest Microsoft Update for the Skype TX, has a bug. It lets you log in your ID but comes up with a .dll file is missing a file and then just spins for the rest of the day. As a result, I have not updated any other machine but my test machine. We really need to check the bugs out with any Microsoft product before using it on our main systems. That is why we have the test machine. Other than that, I am anxious to start using the new system with our production equipment in our studio.

Skype is used by whole IT department as part of a collaboration solution to speed up the resolution of the technical/business problem in a timely manner. By sharing the desktop with the technical team and discussing via voice chat, it gives a personal touch and helps to speed up the resolution and bring everyone on the same page quickly. The tools aid us and help to address priority 1 and 2 severity technical issues as part of the incident management.

Skype is used as an instant messenger as well as a video call, a sharing session, even a recording of a process if necessary. I use Skype several times a day to coordinate efforts of work with remote consultants or co-workers. It works great to record information gathering sessions so they can be referenced later. I also use Skype to communicate where I'm working from and we integrated it with Microsoft Outlook so we can see if somebody is out of the office right away looking at the message that is coming from Outlook. It keeps us all connected and holds people accountable if it is recorded. The recordings can be listened to my managers or project leaders so they can understand any potential issues related to the project being worked.

Skype is used as a primary means of communication across the organization. People use it to communicate as well as share screens. Also it is very very convenient to use Skype for video calls. Also the integration of Skype with Lync makes it all the more valuable for my organization. Also it helps us to get our technical issues sorted by using screen share and the ability to transfer control helps a lot. You can transfer control to the technician and he can do the fix himself so you don't have to scratch your head worrying about where to get the job done.

Skype is being used throughout the organization, as a way to communicate with different staff [members] and outside parties. It is also linked to our contact list which makes finding and locating individuals easy. It allows communication across the company to be more free flowing and the ease of use minimizes training costs.

Skype was being used across the whole organization. It serves as the channel of internal communication between the employees.

Skype is used by my organization to communicate in real time with another department, which is based in Asia. Our marketing and promotion department set up Skype meetings with our graphics and video editing department in order to have the chance to catch up with work at the beginning of each week, or even more than only once a week, depending on the type of work.

I use Skype everyday to work with my partners (fixing issues in our business or developing new projects). I use it 70% during the week by sending instant messages and 30% of the time using voice call. It saves me time instead of having to write emails.
