Skype is a communication platform that offers a range of services including voice calls, video calls, instant messaging, and file sharing. It was one of the earliest and most popular voice-over-IP (VoIP) services, providing the ability to make free or low-cost calls over the internet. Skype was developed by Microsoft and has been widely used for personal and business communication.

Skype is available for various platforms, including Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS, and Android, making it accessible on a wide range of devices. However, it’s worth noting that Microsoft has been transitioning its consumer-focused communication services to Microsoft Teams, which offers similar functionality and integration with the broader Microsoft suite.
