Skype is a necessary and convenient thing; today it is installed on almost all personal computers and laptops by default. Using Skype, you can not only send text messages and photos for free, but also communicate using a webcam, as well as arrange entire conferences literally for a penny. And this not only makes leisure more interesting, enjoyable and versatile. Skype is very useful when you need to discuss current issues with employees from different regions. However, many users still do not know how to enter Skype.
What do you need
Of course, you need a computer, internet and Skype installed. You must have your own profile on Skype, where you post data and photos so that other users can recognize you, find you and invite you as friends.
In order to get to your page, each time you have to enter your username and password. It is better to remember them and write them down on a separate piece of paper, and update them periodically. To facilitate and speed up the process, you can save all the data and activate automatic authorization.
After registration, the program will prompt you to enter additional information about yourself, but this is not necessary, everything is at your discretion. If you want to add someone to your contact list, you need to enter their username in the search bar, preferably also city and age. This will speed up the search. Then you should send a friend proposal to the person. If he answers, you will receive a notification. If not, you won’t be able to add him to your contact list.
What to do next
So, the computer is turned on, Skype is available, the login and password seem to be entered correctly, but you can’t log into Skype? Check all possible errors and malfunctions in order:
- First check which language is installed. You need English. If there is any other, change it and re-enter the password and login.
- Carefully and slowly type all the letters and signs, there should be no mistakes.
- If you are not sure that you correctly remember all the data required to enter the program, contact the support service to restore access to your profile. It’s not difficult at all, just follow all the instructions that pop up in the windows and enter only the correct data.
- Sometimes, in order to enter Skype, the account must be completely deleted. This is required if the problem is due to a virus infection on the computer. Save separately all the information from Skype that you need, delete it, clean your PC. Then re-download and install all programs and drivers, including Skype.
Do not ignore the messages that the Skype administration sends. The fact is that the program is very popular, it is used by several million people around the globe. And for the convenience of their communication, the program is constantly being improved and updated. Therefore, whenever possible, do not miss new versions of Skype and always install them on your computer.
If there are problems
Doing everything according to the instructions, but Skype still remains unavailable? First of all, check the availability of the Internet. Often, even competent, experienced users begin to carry out various operations in case of some failures, and the whole point is simply the low speed of the Internet or an accidentally pulled out cable.
If so, you can always log in to Skype from your phone. But for this you need to download the version suitable for your model, install it on your gadget and register for a new one in order to avoid program failures.
