Imagine Skype as a digital phone booth. Instead of standing inside a glass box, you're using your computer or phone. You can call your friends and family anywhere in the world, and it's like they're sitting right across from you, thanks to video calls. You can also chat with them in real time, share photos and files, and even have group video calls with lots of people at once. It's a great way to stay connected with loved ones, especially if you live far apart.

Honestly, we don't use Skype unless a client or partner uses it. So, we use it for voice and video calls when needed.
