However, despite its popularity the fact that many of its useful features are stuck behind a pay wall makes it an expensive but handy alternative so it’s good news then that Microsoft have now made group video calls on Skype for desktop and Xbox One free. It’s even been featured on the Microsoft-made console the Xbox One, exercising its practicality once more. Needless to say, Skype is more than a bit useful and it’s one of the most popular ways of staying in touch with the people you know (or to talk to the people you don’t) available right now on the market. After being bought in 2011 for over $8 billion (the exact figure was $8.5 billion) by Microsoft who were in turn fighting off competition for the company from Google and Facebook, Skype has only gone on to bigger and better things as people use it as a cheaper alternative to talk to their loved ones, business partners and clients even when they can’t be reached by a traditional phone call. It’s been a good few years for VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) service Skype.
