Skype
BookStack
BookStack

Skype’s text, voice and video make it simple to share experiences with the people that matter to you, wherever they are.

It is a simple, self-hosted, easy-to-use platform for organising and storing information. It provides a pleasant and simple out-of-the-box experience. New users to an instance should find the experience intuitive and only basic word-processing skills should be required to get involved in creating content on BookStack. The platform should provide advanced power features to those that desire it but they should not interfere with the core simple user experience.

Calling- Make free Skype to Skype calls or call mobiles and landlines home and abroad at low rates.;Video- Catch up face to face or get a whole group together on a video call.;Messaging- You're always in the loop with instant messaging, voice messaging and sending texts.;Sharing- Send photos, videos and files of any size.
