Voice chat comes with conference calling, secure file transfer and a
highly secure end to end encryption. Video chat is available on higher
bandwidth connections and makes keeping up with distant family/friends
much more interactive. Video conferencing and the Screenshare features
make Skype popular with the corporate market. Skype’s text chat client
features group chat, chat history, message editing and emoticons. Skype
also enables calls to landlines and mobiles using a premium paid
service.
