Overall Satisfaction with Skype
We use Skype across our U.S. offices to send messages to colleagues in real-time when it is more effective to chat than to send emails back and forth. We have also used it in the past to set up video calls, although since Zoom and Microsoft Teams emerged as top solutions during the pandemic, we have mostly relied on those platforms since they are also used frequently by our clients and business partners.
- Seamless chat functions.
- Group chat features.
- Consistent quality - we run into issues from time to time when using this platform.
- Sometimes colleagues don't receive notifications about new messages.
- Maintained socialization while working from home.
- Increased productivity.
- Zoom and Microsoft Teams
We have found Microsoft Teams and Zoom to be better video conferencing apps for our organization and frequently opt for Teams because we use Office 365 and Teams is built into our calendars. However, I do prefer using Skype for sending messages internally to other colleagues and will continue to use Skype even though Teams has a chat function.
