These days we are seeing how the applications that allow us to stay connected, either with family and friends, or with co-workers to be able to carry out our daily tasks from home. Applications that allow video calls such as Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp, Zoom, Skype... are noticing the COVID-19 crisis and for the better.

And we are left with the last one, with Skype. And it is that if we recently saw how Skype was updated and allowed to send attachments directly from the File Explorer, now it receives another important function, in this case to facilitate calls to contacts

It is a major improvement on Skype when it comes to attracting users Skype is a utility with much more experience behind it than alternatives more modern such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger or Zoom, but the passage of time and the fact that in part, Microsoft has perhaps not evolved as much as it should, has made other rivals take advantage.
