Overall Satisfaction with Skype

Our organization doesn't use Skype, instead [it] uses another product for video conferencing. I personally use Skype, to talk to friends and family.

But I'm pretty sure, if Skype would be used in companies, it'd make video conferencing, meetings, company-wide discussions much easier, since people involved could be in any part of the world, yet share ideas, just like in person.
  • Video quality is amazing, so is the sound.
  • It's platform independent so can be used from phones, tablets, and computers.
  • Settings page is a little messed up, it could made simpler.
  • The Hotmail/Windows Live integration can be confusing sometimes, along with the custom email address used.
  • There're things for which we need to reach out to customer care, instead they could be done online.
  • Helped in hiring new employees, as interviews were conducted over Skype.

Skype could be used in business with clients/employees across the globe. Makes it easy to hold meetings, discuss ideas, and share information. It could also be used to conduct interviews while hiring, making it convenient for the employer and the potential employee to get to know each other, professionally.
