Skype or Zoom? Skype_Zoom
The advantages and disadvantages of these programs are analyzed.
- In general, the quality of communication on Zuma is higher. If both interlocutors have high-quality and fast Internet, the problem of disconnection does not become too acute.
- Users should note that Zoom is faster than Skype and is very efficient on Internet traffic.
- Zom consumes less. This is very important for users who have low-power smartphones and laptops with large amounts of memory.
- Zoom allows you to draw special boards in the program. During a date, you can exchange notes and drawings.
- The app is just starting to gain popularity. In most cases, it is used for business meetings and training, rather than for romantic dates. Schoolchildren and students, who have studied little of this program and tasted the bitter fruits of distance learning, curse the application and its creator to the nines.
- Zoom is not a completely safe communication platform. Several scandals have already been discussed online, raising questions about the privacy of app calls.
Now let”s move on to the analysis of our native and familiar Skype.
- Skype is much more familiar than the newfangled Zuma. Chances are you and your partner have already installed it on your smartphone or computer.
- Skype is more secure. It is less vulnerable than Zoom.
- It has a fairly simple and intuitive interface.
- “Eating” a large amount of resources is inconvenient for weaker gadgets.
If you don”t need group meetings or parties with dozens of participants, you can choose one of these programs. Just choose the platform that is more convenient for both of you.
From personal experience
Are you still in doubt? Read these stories to learn how dates using Zoom (WhatsApp, FaceTime and other video chat services) are a great alternative to boring, conventional dates.
- Here I love Zoom because I am me and people are not afraid to judge me based on my appearance. You don”t need to spend a lot of time getting ready — a cute hat and jumper will do the trick. And if the date does happen, you won’t regret the time and money spent on drinks, food, etc. — Abigail, 25 years old.
- I am a complete introvert and love the Internet, so I am absolutely comfortable communicating with people online. And even if the pandemic ends, I will continue to “go” and increase the dates. I like Zoom WhatsApp and FaceTime because I don”t have to provide a phone number. It is enough to send a link to a stranger. I love Zoom more than dating apps that support video chat.” — Peggy, 27
- “I”m a big fan of these test calls before the date, so I won”t change my habits post-pandemic. Why are these visibility calls good? They let us know if there”s chemistry between us. You don”t even have to put on makeup or dress up for it. On the date itself, you have five minutes, that”s all it takes to figure out whether you want to continue talking to this person or not. I prefer five minutes to a bad two-hour date because I went for it,” Jane, 26.
- I prefer the “real” thing that requires magnification. I”m a travel blogger, and men who are interested in nature often “flee” and start avoiding me. They think I”m not looking for anything serious. In everyday life, I often attract strange guys, which, apparently, is the lot of every girl over 20 years old. To me, the guys who usually go on Zoom dates are patient, mature, reasonable and good guys from all points of view” — Gabby, 24 years old.
- I always thought it was better to have a real date than an online meeting. But for the last two weeks I”ve been talking on FaceTime with someone I met on the Loop. And it was great! We reached a level with other people that we couldn”t reach in two years. All these video calls help us get to know each other even before physical attraction comes into play. We answer and call while we are unable to leave the house. There”s something old-fashioned about it, but I like it.” -24 Delaney.
- In fact, I loved using FaceTime and Snapchat to communicate online before coronavirus. It”s my tradition to have at least one video conference before the first date. People thought it was very strange. But thanks to Covid-19, we have changed our views. And I like this change. Why not spend your first date in the most comfortable environment possible? If your date is boring, there”s no need to pine for food or reach for drinks. And you don”t have to decide who pays the bill. The more people start trying this online, the faster it will become the norm. At least I hope so” — Victoria, 21 years old.

Make a video call and open a training channel on YouTube. Perform a waltz, salsa or dance. The main thing that contributes to inspiration is not to step on the cat that suddenly appears at your party.
- Sports couples.
Especially relevant for sports fans. We met at the gym and regularly went to lift weights, but now we don’t know what to do with ourselves? Put on your gym clothes and get going. Organize a gym at home. The number of workouts per week is at your discretion.
This is where it comes in handy for supporting group video calls. We arrange a meeting with friends, buy wine and delicacies, wear something beautiful and create a festive atmosphere. Or do you want to have a pajama party? Threaten to remove the offender from the chat as soon as you do this.
Use video calls or use a website to watch a movie together. Don”t forget to buy/order/make.
