Skype is a secure communication; encryption cannot be disabled, and is invisible to the user.
Security for the VSS-1 system - one configuration of the VSS-1 system is to locate the PC/Laptop outside the firewall. The link to the room cameras, mics and screens is then via direct connection not involving the company network.
The VSS-1 can also be run via Wi-Fi that is also independent and outside the firewall.
iPhones are also often operating on Wi-Fi or 3G/4G that can be independent of the organization's secure network.
