Since the foundation of Skype in August 2003, 10 years have passed. Right now as the combination between skype and Microsoft, the numbers of users in skype have overpassed 300 million people. Now let’s look back what happened grandly in the past few years.

The foundation

Skype is designed by a group of engineers from Estonia in 2003, who also developed the P2P software Kazaa. This application is used to support the video call of Skype, besides, skype is also named from sky peer to peer, which is linked with p2p.

The initial color of its logo is purple. At that time, skype only can be made phone call with PC.

Skype 9.0 launched the first paid- call service, meaning skype moves into the telecom officially.

First video call

Skype 2.0 are issued in 2005, which is the first video call application. The design is simpler and clean, easy for users to handle. This new innovation brought a huge revelation in VOIP.

Move into social contact

more social element were added into skype 3.1. it not only can be used to make calls, but to make new friends online as well. There was a skypecasts in 2006, which has a capacity of hundreds of net people chat in one room.

Connection between skype and win 8.1

Microsoft revealed the next part of Skype strategy last night. They confirmed that the company plans to bind the voice and video calls to Windows 8.1. Although there are rumors of this plan early, we can see the combine in recent exposure Windows 8.1.

Skype will replace the messaging application in window 8, providing users with video and voice calls, messaging service.

Besides, Microsoft combines skype into Xbox one, outlook.com, even the desktop of office outlook. So it kindly makes sense that windows 8.1 will put skype into every applications needed.

The new system allows users to reply the skype call under the mode of locking, which is special prepared for the 7-8 inch tablet.

As smart phones, social networking and other Internet new ecological changed people's life, at the same time, companies also are taking advantage of Windows 8 started working subverts the traditional industry, the production and business development mode.

how to prepare the skype call when u are on travel

Good news！ Next week I am going to Singapore to start my overseas travel.

Bad news! Maybe I couldn’t update my blogger everyday as I don't want to ruin my trip by the job. I want to put my whole body and soul into a place where no one knows me, no one can touch me.

But for some business man they still receive many calls during the way to vacation, to check the routine of meeting, the running of company. What they should do? Yeah, to remote control by skype. But , how many people know how to handle with the some issues on the way, like drop off the call, the sound is not clear,ect.

First of all, I think you should avoid the high fees by using skype. The international call between local telecom is so expensive, u will have no idea how much it will take even if you just call few seconds.

Secondly, do you feel hard to answer the phone if your hands are occupied by so many bags, luggage, your phone just at your pocket and buzz constantly. You stop, put the bags on the ground, then to take the phone, it stop calling suddenly. Angry! so It’s better to choose a headphone. Easy and reliable headphone with mic enable.

skype video calls runs in the background

You are writing a urgent report, but at the same time u get a skype video call from your mum. What you are going to do next? put the urgent task aside and answer the video call? Or don't answer that continue to write reports?

Good news is that you don't need to do both of them, as you can pick up the video phone and do the reporting things at the same time!

Skype now can receive the calls, and you can keep the application running in the background. That means u can operate a small video window on the right or left screen corner. There would be a small profile showed in your computer, which doesn’t affect the quality of the video. The opposite person still can see the whole scene, what you are doing, what’s your background, anything. And you can just listen their voice and answer, but your hands are typing.

In addition, you also can browse the website, searching for the sources which help you on the reporting paper. All of those are under the conditions for Skype-to-Skype and international calls — not to “online” numbers or regular phones.

Furthermore, Athtek skype recorder are able to record every video calls for you to save in the computer, in case you need to remind some sentences during the conversations.

be careful about the fake skype email

Have you ever received the email aware from skype? Don't believe it, which might be fake.

Some emails’ title say skype updates or skype apps, but when you open it, you will find it link to the other website like promotion advertisement or other private company’s web home. This kind of action just wants to enhance the hits if you click the link and publish their company’s name. There is no real information about skype software or relative functions.

The fake email might reveal your personal info by asking you to input this again. Make sure not to follow these instructions. Do not download any things from the website you enter or full in any forms in the link.

Pls keep it in mind that skype only send email when it updates, especially when you log on to your account or directly from its official website. The right thing is to delete them or mark them as spam if you receive the unwanted emails.

Besides, there is a trusted third application Athtek skype recorder which can help you to enhance the skype experience. This software can record every video conversations between you can your friends, family, colleagues.
