Skyping
Remote face-to-face conversation
Skyping is video calling, from the software Skype that popularized the practice in the 2000s.
Like googling for searching, the brand became a verb: We've been Skyping every Sunday since she moved abroad.
Though Skype has lost ground to Zoom and FaceTime, Skyping persists as a generic term for video chat, especially among older speakers.
