Skype is one of the popularly used video calling app in the world. It has three variants, Skype free IMs & video calls, Skype for Business, and Skype Lite – Free Video Call & Chat. It is primarily used for Business meetings and conferences. Apart from business meetings, you can also use Skype to communicate with your friends and family. Like WhatsApp, you can also use Skype to send messages and chat with your friends. And it is a cross-platform application that is available almost for all the platforms like smartphones, laptops/PC and as a web version. Many people like to have video calls on the big screen. How to get it? We can get it through casting. But unfortunately, we don’t have any in-built function in Skype to cast on other devices. So we can use Chromecast to cast Skype calls to TV.
