The productivity features available in Skype for Business were created to build stronger communication skills between users. Skype for Business is compatible with Apple computers running Mac OS X 10.10 or higher as well as iOS, Android, and Windows devices. While its features were designed for corporations, it only uses 100 MB of hard disk space. It keeps all messages, calls, and files in the corporate intranet through the Skype for Business Server. The enterprise software was developed by Microsoft to be integrated into the Microsoft Office suite, allowing users to retrieve their contact list from other Microsoft directory services like Microsoft Exchange Server and Outlook. Verdict:įor both home and office users, Skype is an incredibly valuable tool and the latest additions are great improvements.Skype for Business offers instant messaging, audio calling, and video conferencing capabilities to businesses and corporations. Note that this is the Classic version of Skype v7 for Mac. If you've had problems with connection quality before then you'll appreciate the new call quality manager, which monitors performance during a call and provides help on resolving problems.Īnd while poor quality calls might be down to line or internet issues that you can't control, Skype now includes automatic call recovery, which quickly reconnects you when a connection has failed.
This lets you have a video chat with more than two people, intelligently moving the focus to the person who's speaking so it's easy to follow the conversation. The program also currently includes a group video calling feature. And another click gives access to your phonebook, from where you can text or call your Facebook friends (free of charge, if they're also Skype users, potentially a real money-saver). Skype enables you to check what's going on with your friends, add comments and update your own status. Skype Classic is the previous release of the popular portable VoIP, instant messaging and chat tool.
