The All New Skype(skype.com)
over 6 years ago from Preshit Deorukhkar, Founder at iXyr Media
Connor McCormick, over 6 years ago Couldn't agree more. It feels like a cross between FaceTime and Snapchat. I'm curious how this will impact their business offering.
Jay Wyche, over 6 years ago
It's my understanding that Skype for business is part of the Office 365 suite and a completely different app than regular Skype..
Alex Martineau, over 6 years ago
It appears they have split Skype into Business and ... whatever this is. Here's the business website. They may combine them in the future maybe? https://products.office.com/en-us/skype-for-business/online-meetings
Linton Ye, over 6 years ago Except that MS wants it to be a lot more than a just business communication tool.
Brian Hinton, over 6 years ago
Except this has a better UX than Snapchat.
Jesse Payne, over 6 years ago I thought Snapchat's UX was deliberately user hostile to keep their users under 30! It's designed to be "bad".
Mick N, over 6 years ago
That doesn't seem to be all that effective tho. I know heaps of over-30 snapchat users.
I can't help but think this is a rather large mistake. I never pictured Skype trying to take on Snapchat, I always viewed it as a business communication tool.
