Skype is a great way of staying in touch with family and friends.<br />
Finding ways to connect<br />
meaningfully with friends and<br />
family across the globe is always<br />
a challenge. The telephone is<br />
great, but there is no substitute<br />
for seeing a loved one?s smiling<br />
face or watching the fun of<br />
grandchildren playing or<br />
receiving a virtual hug from a<br />
close friend.<br />
Skype is a great way of staying<br />
in touch with family and friends<br />
very easily and at no cost. All<br />
you need is a computer screen ?<br />
on a desktop, laptop or tablet.<br />
Skype uses your computer like a<br />
telephone.<br />
It allows both sides of the<br />
conversation to see and speak<br />
to each other ? regardless of the<br />
physical distance between<br />
them.<br />
Skype is ideal for making a voice<br />
or video call, but it has<br />
additional interesting features<br />
you can master to enrich your<br />
engagement with your loved<br />
ones.<br />
One example is the screen<br />
sharing option. This lets you<br />
share live video of what's on<br />
your computer screen. It is an<br />
easy way to show another<br />
person what you're working on<br />
or get help from your service<br />
provider with any technical<br />
issues you may be having with<br />
your computer.
