Skype

Skype is a popular program that allows people to communicate with each other through audio and video communication, as well as text chat. The program can be installed on both personal computers and portable devices - computer, laptop, tablet, phone, TV and set-top box. The list of devices on which you can install this program is really huge. The interface of the client is made in calm colors that do not cause eye fatigue, and its tools are very simple and flexible in settings. In the software, available for installation on personal computers with Windows, there is built-in advertising.
