Skype é um aplicativo proprietário de bate-papo (em texto e vídeo) que funciona entre plataformas.

It also provides voice calls and desktop sharing. It uses a proprietary Internet telephony (VoIP) network called the Skype protocol.

Instalação

Please note: the latest versions of Skype work only on 64 bit architectures.

It is possible to install Skype on Fedora using these package methods.

  • Using the RPM by Skype

  • Using a Flatpak hosted by Flathub.
