Skype beta 5 VS Face time

Im a massive lover of all things Mac, but I think this time Skype have introduced something a bit special. If quality of content is not what your looking for then Skype is the answer.

The new beta 5 version introduces multiple video conferencing with a better UX – I hear you say nothing new there but what is very interesting and especially useful if you are working from home or doing online presentations is the “view desktop” aspect. This means that the viewer can see what you are doing on your desktop, whether its a presentation or a tutorial. It is great for getting your content across to people, and if you are a visual person like me its great!.

Skype however still falls down on quality where facetime exceeds…

Facetime has the ability to keep the quality high because it knows that the cameras being used are either HD quality or high quality video cameras ie MAC. They will always have the advantage until ALL computers will be using HD cameras and great connections. The answer for Facetime is to include the desktop feature.

Skype is still universally great for both Mac and PC.
