Overall Satisfaction with Skype

It has allowed us to connect with our team members around the world in one on one scenarios. It is helpful to be able to see them face to face even when we cannot see them in person very often. It makes us feel closer. However, it has not been great for groups.

  • Personal catch-up calls

  • Group calls are difficult
  • Collaboration
  • Running classes
  • Social capital
  • Relationship building
  • Bad for groups
Skype is great for one on one calls and easy catch ups. However, when it comes to talking in a more professional setting and in a group setting, we have gone with other communication services. Skype is great for video conferencing with one other person though and I would recommend it for that.

Would you buy Skype again?

Yes

Skype is great for one on one calls. I would highly recommend it if you need to speak with one person. If you need to speak to 2 or more people, I would recommend using something else. For me, the greatest improvement should be around collaboration with groups and teams.
