Company profile

Skype company profile

Skype is for doing things together, whenever you’re apart. Skype’s text, voice, and video make it simple to share experiences with the people that matter to you, wherever they are. With Skype, you can share a story, celebrate a birthday, learn a language, hold a meeting, work with colleagues – just about anything you need to do together every day. You can use Skype on whatever works best for you - on your phone or computer or a TV with Skype on it. It is free to start using Skype - to speak, see, and instant message other people on Skype for example. You can even try out group videos, with the latest version of Skype. If you pay a little, you can do more things, in more ways, with more people – like call phones, access WiFi or send texts. You can pay as you go or buy a subscription, whatever works for you. And in the workplace, this means you can bring your entire ecosystem of workers, partners, and customers together to get things done. Founded in 2003 and headquartered in Luxembourg, Skype is a division of Microsoft Corp.
