When you need to connect, but can’t in person.
Overall Satisfaction with Skype
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.
Pros
- I think it is a great too for connecting with family and building professional relationships.
- I think it is a tool that provides convenience because you can skype whenever is suitable for you.
- I think it is easily accessible to call and connect.
- I like that the Skype can be free depending on your needs.
- Useful to connect to all no matter what system they use Sndroid, PC, or Mac.
Cons
- I’ve definitely have had connection and picture issues with the software even when the internet was good.
- I don’t like that some calls were dropped or interrupted at random.
- If someone does have an Apple product, it is faster and easier to use Facetime, as no logging in is required.
- The Skype interviews I have had were successful and there weren’t any issues connecting.
- Still finding calls to sometimes have bad connection that interferes with getting to the conversation.
- I wish paid features weren’t highly encouraged while I’m connecting with family.
It stacks up mainly because it is well known and many people are familiar with it or have used it at least once. It is the modern day instant messenger. It’s fairly easy to sign up and create an account and to find other accounts.
