Skype
Although Skype is best known for video calling between two people, it can also be used for instant messaging/texting, desktop sharing, conference and group video calls.
Set up Skype with two basic steps:
- First, create a Skype account on the Skype website (http://www.skype.com).
- Then download the Skype program and install it on your computer.
- Contacts can be imported or entered manually (instructional link on right).
- Calls can be initiated (once contacts are available).
