    It allows you to chat for free with your contacts that have a skype account.
    You can easily do video or audio chat or even share your screen. There is a simple group chat option as well built in the app.

    If you want better sound quality, check out this USB microphone on Amazon. Blue Yeti USB Mic

    There are just so many questions right from the outset that are not answered. This tutorial launched into the process far too quickly. What is the communication medium? Is it the telephone, the internet or e-mail? What is my profile, is it my e-mail address or something else? If so, what? How does one decide what communication medium to use? If by telephone, then presumably there is a phone charge. Skype is usually said to be free but there are little cash registers around and one feels that just one wrong move and the bills will start racheting upwards. Why do I need an account if I want to use Skype free of charge? The tutorial needs a prequel to set the scene. At the moment it is unfathomable for a beginner. Howfinity is too knowledgeable to understand how and where to begin.

    Use something else. Skype gets worse every day.

    Since Microsoft bought Skype it has become terribly complicated! You have to be tech-savvy to use it.

    You talk too fast, without pausing between thoughts.

    It would be truly beneficial to a beginner if you would teach rather than show how much you know. Example; highlight your cursor and make your movements much slower. It should not be a race to "Find Waldo"!

    Poor. I thought Skype was for video conferencing. No mention of that. Plus: how do you connect with others? Do they have to be a registered Skype member?

    Thanks, I find Skype a little user unfriendly for someone who just wants to make a simple video call, but you explained the process clearly.

    How would Skype work for teaching a painting class where people can see the demonstration and correspond with me or others in the session? I want the group to see the demo and be able to see me to talk with about the ongoing demo topic. Can skype do this?

    If you are recording a chat, Skype crops the screen in the recoding. Is there a way for it to record full screen?

    Does anyone know how to place a call using my newly purchased Skype phone number? Am I making an error when I select Skype online to try and make a call using my personalized Skype number? I'm unable to find a video that shows me the start point from where I would do this. Your input is greatly appreciated. Kindly, Jennifer
