Where and How to download Skype-Microsoft, after much hard work, has made some amazing improvements to its video call service – Skype.
Microsoft added the cool feature where users do not have to sign up or create an account or even download software to join cross-platform video conferences. There’s also a simpler intuitive interface that help get users to start a video call in just one click.
The feature of not having to sign up, download software and not have time limits were some of the features that made Zoom Meeting one of the most popular choices during the huge increase in video call and video conferencing since the Covid-19 pandemic has changed how people go about their work and communication.
However, Zoom (I believe they are working on it) has seen a rise in security and privacy issues recently, so some have turned to other alternatives.
You can sign up for a free Skype meeting from any device. Isn’t that amazing? I mean you literarily host a video meeting with no downloads, no sign ups and no fear of time limits.
It’s easy, simply visit the skype official website on any device, create a meeting, get the meeting link and share with participants and join the video call, you can even share the meeting link with over 50 people.
However, for one reason or the other, you may want to download the skype software or app to your personal computer or phone as the case may be.
