Transcript for Skype Explained Visually

Let's say you have a friend - we'll call him Jack - who is somewhere else.

He could be in town, cross-country or even overseas,

but you need to communicate with him.

You could reach him the old-fashioned and expensive way

phone him, fax him, or mail him something.

But if Jack has Internet access,

you can just use Skype.

Skype is a little piece of free software

that you download to your PC or Mac

and it does a bunch of amazing stuff.

You can talk directly to him on Skype, for free,

anywhere in the world.

Telephone calls sound like this,

but Skype calls sound like this,

and you can even reach him on this (mobile) or this (telephone)

if his computer is off

by voice or text, at amazing rates.

If you want to see him live

Skype does that, too.

Most new computers have Webcams built right in

and Skype gives you free HD videoconferencing.
