Skype is a web-based communication platform that allows users to communicate via standard instant messaging as well as to make video and phone calls for little to no cost. The platform supports group video calls involving up to 25 people and the exchange of documents, images, videos, and other multimedia files for easy, streamlined sharing.
I have been to the Office365 website and looked in the software section but I cannot find it.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

Description
FaceTime for Mac makes it easy to talk, smile and laugh with friends and family on their iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPod touch or Mac. Getting started is quick and easy — simply enter your Apple ID and you're ready to go. Whether you're talking to someone on an iPhone or on another Mac, video calls with FaceTime look great. There's no better way to keep all your favorite faces just a click away.
Simple to Get Started
• Setup is quick and easy – just enter your Apple ID.
• With just one click, you can make a video call to an iPhone 4, iPad 2, iPod touch, or another Mac.
Easy-to-Organize Contacts
• Make calls using your existing Address Book contacts – you don’t have to enter your contacts from scratch.
• Add the people you call most often to your Favorites list.
• Quickly review your past calls with Recents.
High-Definition Video
• Receive HD video calls at up to 720p on supported, Intel-based Macs.*
• A Mac with a standard-definition camera delivers up to VGA-quality video for Mac-to-Mac calls.
Elegant Interface
• Window and playback controls fade away so the focus stays on your conversation.
• View transitions smoothly when an iPhone 4, iPad 2, or iPod touch user switches from front to rear cameras or from portrait to landscape views.
• FaceTime's widescreen aspect ratio makes it easy for families and groups to participate in a call.
• Enjoy your video call full screen, using every inch of your beautiful Mac display.
Ring Anywhere, Any Time
• Incoming calls ring on your Mac, even if FaceTime isn’t running.
• If you have more than one Mac, incoming calls ring on every one so you can answer on the Mac that’s most convenient.
*Video calls require a built-in FaceTime camera, an iSight camera (built-in or external), a USB video class (UVC) camera, or a FireWire DV camcorder; and a 128-Kbps upstream and downstream Internet connection. Making HD video calls requires a built-in FaceTime HD camera and a 1-Mbps upstream and downstream Internet connection. Receiving HD video calls requires a supported Intel-based Mac. (for a complete list, visit http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4534).
What’s New
This update resolves connection issues in FaceTime, and is recommended for all users of FaceTime on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.
sign in trouble for months...
Same problem for months now. Cannot sign in - I have used the correct password and have signed in successfully on other MBP’s. The “please check your network connection” message always shows, although I am able to use the internet and everything else with no problem. Also, I can’t uninstall? Before when I had this problem, I would un/reinstall and things would work. However I can’t do this anymore.
Finally works. But you need to correctly remove all old files first.
Free Skype For Mac Pro
After installing this update, I got a service interruption notice saying 'You have been disconneted from Apple Services, etc...' when trying to load facetime, restarting the macbook didn't help. So I used a great little app called 'AppDelete' and it found all the old file from facetime, deleted them, and then I installed this new version again, it worked after that. It would be nice if Apple cared to mention this.
Amazing App
I recently purchased this app to use on an older MacBook with Mac OS X Snow Leopard, and started using this app on it. It is wonderful. It works just like FaceTime does on new Macs with the built-in version of the app. Easy and simple, yet so powerful. Use it to talk with friends all the time, and it makes staying in touch with people when traveling/out of town really easy!
