- It has lowered our costs in our organization while communicating through the internal team, earlier we use landlines to communicate, but now we use Skype which is cheap in comparison to landlines and other sources.
- It has saved our time in spreading and communicating with a large number of people, As we can communicate and pass the messages in groups which saves our time and cost.
- It has saved our bills which were going earlier on landlines.
As WhatsApp Business is not useful as skype because there are certain features which were not as useful as those available on skype. Whatsapp has a file size limit while transferring data, it doesn't have screen sharing which is a big drawback, and cannot be used as a professional tool while working in corporates.

Best Software to Connect your Coworkers
Skype is exceptionally a great tool to connect with your coworkers while working. The best feature I have experienced is the screen sharing capability, which helps a lot with discussing your projects online and you can easily understand what the speaker wants to make you understand. You can make group calls, add members, and send an invite by scheduling your tasks to it. Hand raise and emoticons are also available to express your feelings over the chat. The UI is friendly and easy to manage and use. Privacy shortcuts are also available. It also allows muting the disturbance in a group call.
- Quality audio and video calls.
- Screen sharing facility.
- Mute disturbance in group calls.
- Scheduling and inviting.
- Hand raise and emoticons.
- Sometimes slows down while updating.
- Emoticons are somehow outdated.
