More about Skype

Skype is software that lets people chat with messages and video calls all over the world. Millions of businesses and individuals use the Skype platform to make free voice and video calls. It’s available on every platform including Android, iOS, Mac, Windows, Linux, and other operating systems, and is completely free to download and use. It’s very easy to setup Skype on all devices.

Throughout 2017, Microsoft attempted the redesign of the way Skype was being used and transitioned from a peer-to-peer service to a centralized Azure service. It originally featured a hybrid p2p and client-server system, powered entirely by supernodes since 2012. Skype was originally founded in 2003 by Niklas Zennström. In May 2011, Microsoft acquired Skype for $8.5 billion US dollars.
