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.

[serahabiona]

Thank you for this detailed video. It was very helpful and informative.

I wish you would have talked more about setting up contacts.

Thank you so much for the "how to" of Skype. It was very helpful.

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.

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

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

Utterly bereft of information. Here's a tip, if you can't explain it so a five year old can understand it, you don't understand it yourself.

hi, I installed skype but now I see something strange.
when turned my laptop on, skype didn't work
then I went to the internet to google something and connected the wifi
now skype is working. why does it only work after I open the internet?

[liberalhypnotist]

The SkypeTutorial inserts a number of technical terms that are confusing like "bot". What is it? A bit too fast t grasp for a non user..

[midnightchannel]

Skype sucks, the GUI is VERY misleading... The reason u use the thing is to make VIDEO CALLS. This is the main readon, so this should be the main thing on the screen. "Message" is accuate, ie, text messaging ONLY. But there is no clear button, etc, that just says VIDEOCALL. So u have to hope u are pressing the right button.

Leave it to Bill Gates to make a simple thing as complicated as possible - the man knew and knows nothing about technology, like Steve Jobs, he is a marketer, and his partner (s), was the one (s) who did all the technical thinking and work.

Need help, never used Skype before, how does one use it for international calls, l need to practice for an interview . I got a temporary number or ID and it's says something about payment.

[GrapevineTom]

Didn't mention how you get YOUR video to appear in upper right (small) window and the Contact's video to be LARGE in the center of Skype. Guess I'm the ONLY person with this question.

[anthonylondon]

What you dont explain....is via what means the contacts are being made...telephone numbers, e addresses etc
