With everything that’s going on at the moment in the world of communications technology some people may be feeling isolated and finding it harder to keep in touch with your loved ones. If you are trying to use Skype to video call friends or family and you are running into questions or difficulties, many people have been there before you. I’ve put together some useful resources for those who want to learn about Skype. The main advantage of Skype is that it is available on a very wide range of devices. So if your family and friends all use different things, it still works.
