We love to say that distance is no match for Skype – so whether your loved ones are across the globe or across the street, you can always call and say hello to see the smiling faces that are important to you – in crystal clear, high definition video. We want to make sure that every video call our users make is as great as possible. Simple enough, right?
To make our goals a reality, we are investing in all sorts of improvements that will help improve video and audio calls in almost any situation – all available in the latest versions of Skype. But what exactly are those improvements? We went to our engineering team to find out.
“The main advantage we have over our competition is the sheer number of call minutes we process each day, and that helps us ensure quality calls,” says Karlheinz Wurm, Partner Product Manager for Skype Real-time communications – up to 2 billion minutes per day.
