How To Set Up A Skype account

This tutorial shows you how to set up Skype on a Mac. The PC set up is similar but may vary in certain ways.

Go to Skype.com and download Skype. Once the Skype .dmg file has finished downloading, open the .dmg file (depending on your settings, it may open by itself) and drag the Skype icon into the Applications folder.

Next, open Skype from within your applications folder.

Read and accept the Skype user agreement.

If you already have a Skype username and password, enter it. Otherwise, click the "Don't have a Skype name?" link.

Enter your desired username and password, select the checkboxes for the options you want and click "Create."

Skype will then log you in and ask you to fill out a profile. Fill out as much or as little as you want and click "Apply."

As a new Skype user the best way to get started is to call someone you know who has a Skype account and give them your Skype User Name. The program is fairly intuitive and easy to use. There is a built-in help system that will answer most of the questions that you might have.

Congratulations on setting up your new Skype account!
