Due to the ongoing pandemic, people around the world are opting for different platforms on the Internet to stay connected for personal and professional matters. Microsoft Skype is one of the most popular business applications for conducting online meetings, webinars, and trainings. It is simple to host a meeting and easy for attendees to click and join. In the present circumstances, Skype continues to stay among the more popular video calling platforms in use for business meetings and lectures.
