Skype is used by ICANN At-Large for its instant messaging features for At-Large (the Community and At-Large Staff) to send and receive chat messages in real-time.

There are group chats in Skype where many At-Large members can chat about At-Large activities and related news.

In late 2014 and through 2015, Skype launched Skype Translator Preview which allows machine translation of text chats and real-time voice interpretation and transcription of several languages. These features are being integrated into the regular Skype desktop clients.
