Skype and TeamSpeak are the most popular programs for communication with the friends and relatives. Each of them possesses unique merits and demerits.
Skype
Skype is one of the very first programs intended for remote communication with acquaintances. With its help the users of the personal computer can communicate, send video and a photo and also to carry out video calls. The possibility of communication by means of video conference is key feature of the program. Work with the program will require the working computer with Internet connection, loudspeakers and also the microphone and the webcam. All equipment, in most cases, is automatically determined by the program therefore the user should not deal with settings. Besides, Skype can be installed also on mobile the device on the basis of Android OS, iOS or Microsoft Phone. Thus you can always stay in touch. Skype allows to carry out calls on stationary and mobile phones. For this purpose it is enough to refill balance of your account only. Key advantage is that the cost of calls on long distance and trunk calls by means of Skype many times is less, than normal telephony.
Unfortunately, in addition to advantages this program has a certain quantity of shortcomings among which high consumption of system resources is most of all selected. It is very relevant for players as at such consumption the operability of the computer strongly decreases and it becomes simply impossible to play or work with exacting graphic applications.
TeamSpeak
TeamSpeak represents a fine analog of Skype. By means of this program it is possible: to communicate at the same time with one or several people, to browse a desktop of other user, to work with it independently, etc. For communication it will be required to the user: the working computer with Internet connection, the microphone and loudspeakers. Unfortunately, the program does not allow to carry out videoconferences, but thanks to this shortcoming, the program consumes many times less system resources. Thus it turns out that it is possible to use it not only only at communication with relatives and relatives, but also during the game or even management of a remote desktop. The program is distributed absolutely for free, and it is not necessary to pay not kopeks for all its functions. As a result of it it is possible to find with ease in the Internet, to download and install on the computer.
Summing up, It is necessary to tell that each user, of course, independently decides that for him it is better - Skype or TeamSpeak. The first program has quite broad functionality, but at the same time consumes many system resources. The second, in turn, on the contrary. If you just are going to communicate to relatives and acquaintances, then stop the choice on Skype and if you are going not only to communicate but to work or play, then TeamSpeak.
