I've never heard anyone use the word "skyping."
- AlexMuir 16y agoLet's Skype, Skype me Very common for me.
- mikeryan 16y agoIn particular I use this when dealing with European clients/international calls. "Skyping" is a pretty common alternative to "calling".
- stanleydrew 16y agoHave you heard anyone use any other word for voip calling?
- eitally 16y agoThat just reflects the fact that you probably don't operate in a workplace where it isn't clear what mode of communication is meant when someone sets up a "call." At my multinational, explicitness is requisite since the requester could mean POTS-to-POTS (legacy PBXes), VOIP-to-POTS (Nortel softphone for the VOIP, connecting to older PBXes), VOIP-to-VOIP (Asterisk), Skype-to-Skype, or Skype-to-Voice (via VoSky). When someone says "let's Skype" in my world, they either mean Skype-to-Skype (which is implicit if they are in your Skype contacts) or Skype-to-VOIP using one of our VoSky appliances that's tied into our PBXes. The verb "to call" is almost meaningless these days.

- eitally 16y agoThat was the point. I don't think there are any UCS platforms that encompass all possible good options, though, and people will always find ways to connect via the most direct endpoints jointly available.
