Skype is Voice-over-IP-software, ontwikkeld en verkocht door Microsoft. Het programma biedt versturen van tekstberichten, video- en spraakberichten, de mogelijkheid om bestanden uit te wisselen, evenals chats en videovergaderingen. Gesprekken via Skype zijn gratis, waarbij alleen voor gesprekken via vaste lijnen of mobiele netwerken kosten in rekening worden gebracht. Het programma heeft ook een ingebouwde vertaler die telefoongesprekken in real time vertaalt. De basisversie is gratis.

Wie gebruikt Skype?

Skype is geschikt voor privégebruikers die op zoek zijn naar een chat- en videoprogramma en voor kleinere bedrijven die gebruik willen maken van videovergaderingen of internettelefonie.

Skype Review

4,0 8 maanden geleden

Opmerkingen: Skype has not posed any major issues and is a reliable service for whenever I have online meeting needs. It's a well known brand and people trust it for meeting about both business uses and casual needs like playing games online with friends while keeping a voice chat open without using cell phones.

Pluspunten:

It lets any user access remote contact for free and without needing to worry about cell calling limits while providing instant access to powerful tools like streaming your own screen via screen sharing. A game changer for quick day to day meetings in any workplace scenario whether that's an artist to a client showing progress or within a 30 person office for a monthly progress meeting.

Minpunten:

Occasional discconnection issues and needing to share passwords to formal meetings are standard across programs like these, annoying but not limited to Skype by any means.

Sometimes the call quality is not the best and some messages arrive late.

Skype Review

3,0 vorige maand Nieuw

Opmerkingen: It was good in it’s prime time. The calls were reliable and serve its purpose in connecting our teams communication.

Pluspunten:

It was great during it’s time. Before Teams, Skype was the best app to use for communication. We even use it for virtual phone.

Minpunten:

It was just a communication application. Other microsoft applications couldn’t be integrated, unlike Teams.

One of the best and classic VOIP services

5,0 3 maanden geleden

Opmerkingen: Skype is one of the best VOIP services around. Although some corporate services have moved over to Zoom or Teams as they are integrated, Skype still outshines them when it comes to calling clients or people who have little to no internet access. It works for me all the time

Pluspunten:

I like that I can use Skype to call regular phone lines by loading credits. This enables me to have meetings with people and clients around the world with little to no internet access.

Minpunten:

Depending on where you are calling, the credits can be expensive.

Skype review

5,0 2 maanden geleden Nieuw

Opmerkingen: Skype is relevant and powerful in 2024. It evolves with its business need and has a good reputation worldwide. Its stability is why I use it.

Pluspunten:

I like the availability to call friends and colleagues in different countries due to its stability of video conferencing and its robust features.

Minpunten:

Skype’s interaction with other services isn’t as seamless as other alternatives. For businesses that rely on other products in conjunction this could be an issue.

J.L. Skype Review

4,0 vorig jaar

Opmerkingen: Skype has been a great tool that I've used in the past couple of months as a way of communicating with family members and business partners alike across the world via audio-video. However, it's privacy concerns and limited features really drive me away from using it regularly.

Pluspunten:

I can learn almost anything virtually and therefore have the skills to work anywhere in the world. For example, I recently had a financial wellness webinar where I learned a lot about budgeting, taxes, and more.

Minpunten:

Skype has faced privacy concerns related to data security and encryption so I tend to use other software like Google Meet and Zoom.

Connecting the World One Call at a Time

4,0 vorig jaar

Opmerkingen: My Overall experience with skype is awesome and appreciating the likes that I can make video calls, voice calls, messaging and even make group video calls either for work or family meet ups

Pluspunten:

I love many things about skype! One of the things I like most about Skype is the ability to connect with friends and family from anywhere in the world. It allows me to face-to-face conversations, even when I cant be physically together. Skype also offers a wide range of futures like screen sharing, file sharing, and group calls, which make it a versatile and convenient communication tool.

Minpunten:

I can't speak for everyone, but I find the user interface of Skype to be a bit overwhelming at times. especially for new users.

Basic Conference Tool

5,0 7 maanden geleden

Pluspunten:

Everyone knows how to use it especially in markets where it is still a dominant voip tool. I am glad Microsoft is still keeping at afloat as many small businesses such as dealerships use it. Some EU markets are still active on Skype and it helps to stay connected to customers this way.

Minpunten:

With years it became worse and much more integrated into other Microsoft tools. Having ability to buy minutes and call locally is great, but the quality is not always there.

Skype is Simple

3,0 3 maanden geleden

Opmerkingen: Skype is simple and easy to use, but mostly geared toward the individual consumer and not businesses. It is not able to keep up with the demand of remote multi-person meetings that we experience in the business world today.

Pluspunten:

Skype pioneered the video call experience, and remains a secure connection for internet calls. Both the older and younger generations can benefit from its simplicity.

Minpunten:

Skype lacks the ability to create quick meetings with multiple people by sending out one link, so it is not as useful for group calls.
