It's the usual Skype, but specifically for companies and freelancers. Microsoft is working on a special version of Skype for small business owners companies and self-employed or freelance. At the moment there is no definitive version, but there is a preview that users can try.
Firstly it will be available in the United States. But later promises to extend to the rest of the countries where Skype is operating. And what will this tool consist of? Well, as you can imagine, this will bring specific features for professionalsAnd this naturally includes a central feature, which is the essence of Skype. We are talking about video calls, to communicate with clients or collaborators even if they are not in the same place.
But what's so special about it? Well, in principle, it works through a specific Skype professional account And that this formula includes, as we said, both the traditional Skype video call service, as well as different options to create meetings, calendar, note management and even a payment system.
If these options materialize for all users, it is clear that Skype could become a wonderful tool for freelancers to conduct meetings, get togethers , tutorials and even remote consulting (or other) services.
Skype for freelancers and small businesses
One of the great advantages of this new Skype is that it will avoid users having to install alternative tools. Or third-party applications, which up to now have served (and still serve) to give conferences, courses or tutorials at a distance.
At the moment, there is no more data on its implementation. In fact, it is not clear if after the tests with this first preview, the tool will arrive for the rest of the world as a free option. Or if on the contrary, it will be necessary to pay a fee.
Those who are interested in trying it out currently have the option to sign up for the Skype program. It is available from Microsoft's own website.
