David also explores how Skype failed to capitalize on its early video capabilities, allowing Zoom to surge during the pandemic. He highlights the critical issue of Skype's multi-device messaging, which lacked privacy and deterred users.

Discover the insights and 'what ifs' that could have reshaped the digital communication landscape.
