Skype closing down

I heard skype is closing down in may. Is there anything similer that is free and easy to share like music and pics/vids?
.
I used it to talk to some family outside of the usa on it so wondering if anybody knows any good program similer to it?

Whatsapp is popular in a fair number of companies. On recent trips to Costa Rica it was a must have.

@Neoerectus Is whatsapp fully secure? My work is MS-based as is Scouts NSW and both organisations are focused on the MS collaborative tools. There are a lot of unofficial facebook groups used by workgroups, social groups, etc. too but they're not secure or have proper controls. And on FB 'big brother/sister' is always watching. I personally do not like IT-based collaboration tools but organisational choices are above my 'pay grade' in both paid and volunteer orgs I'm part of.
