Where to download Skype in Russian

After installation, the Skype login window will appear. By entering your login and then password (which you specified when registering your account), you can start communicating with your friends.

Now I will show you how to quickly register on Skype on your computer or phone. First we will create a new account, and then we will learn how to use Skype.

How to register with Skype

Skype is a program for communicating over the Internet from Microsoft. Through it you can call and correspond for free, as well as communicate via video. But in order for all this to be possible, you first need to register as a new user.

Right now I’ll show you with an example how to register for free on Skype on a computer and laptop. I will do this through the official website in Russian.

On a phone or tablet, registering for Skype is exactly the same, starting from the third step. First you need to install the application, open it and click “Create an account”.

1. Open the official website www.skype.com.

2. In the upper right corner, click on “Login” and select “Register” from the list.

3. We print your mobile phone number with the operator code. Example: 9001112233

If you want to sign up for Skype without a phone number, click on the "Use an existing email address" link. A field will appear to enter an email address where you need to type your address.

Here the system offers to get a new email address. But in this case, you will still have to confirm your account via mobile phone. Therefore, if you want to register without a phone, but you don’t have a personal email, then first create it on another site. And then indicate this address when registering.

4. We create a password of eight or more characters: it must consist of numbers and English letters. Example password: 45826967s

If the password does not work, make a more complex version that includes both capital and small letters. For example, 45826967RNs

Be sure to write down the password. Without it, you will then not be able to log into Skype!

6. Now you need to enter the numeric code that will be sent to your mobile or email address and click “Next”.

A message comes to your phone from an unknown number with a registration code:

And if you specified an email instead of a number, you will receive a letter from the technical support service.

The email will contain a registration code.

Don't try to use the code I showed in the pictures. It will be different for you.

7. We print the characters from the image. The size of the letters doesn't matter.

8. Skype online will open. Click "Get Started" and the system will start.

If a window pops up asking you to show notifications, click Allow.

That's it - registration is completed! Now you are on Skype and you can start communicating.

How to use Skype: instructions for beginners

There are three types of Skype:

• Browser (Skype online)
• As a separate program for a computer
• As an app for your phone or tablet

This is the same program, just in different versions. And you can use all of them at once.

For example, install a computer version on a laptop, and an application on a smartphone. And use browser-based Skype on someone else’s computer.

Browser (Skype online) - this is the version without downloading. It simply works from the browser: from Google Chrome, Yandex, Mozilla Firefox or any other Internet program.

Computer program- this is Skype, which you must first download and install on your PC. This is convenient if you plan to use Skype regularly. The program will hang in the computer’s memory and as soon as someone wants to get in touch with you, it will immediately open.

Application for phone or tablet- this is the same program, but only for mobile. It will also hang in the device’s memory and as soon as someone calls or writes to you, it will be immediately activated.

How to log into your Skype

To log into your Skype, you must first launch the program. After this, the account will either open automatically or a login window will open where you will need to enter your data. You indicated them during registration: phone number or email, password.

How to open a program on a computer. To start computer version open the Skype icon on your desktop (screen).

How to add a contact

Contacts is something like a telephone directory. You add a person there, and he is assigned to your account. This way you can add a friend, relative, or colleague to Skype.

To add a new contact, you first need to find the person on Skype. To do this, type his name or login in the system, email address or phone number into the search.

Then select the user and click on “Add to contact list”. A request window will appear. It is advisable to type who you are instead of standard text.

Immediately after sending, the person will be added to your contact list. But next to its icon there will be a small icon with a question mark. This means that the user has not yet approved the request. When he receives it and accepts it, the question mark will change to something else.

How to communicate

Communication via Skype is possible in three options:

1. Call
2. Video call
3. Correspondence

A call is something like talking on the phone. You hear your interlocutor, and he hears you. To do this you will need a microphone, headphones or speakers, as well as quite fast internet. Modern laptops, tablets and smartphones usually have both a microphone and speakers.

To make a call, click on the person in the contact list and click on the button with the image of a handset.

A video call is voice communication + video broadcast. You not only hear the interlocutor, but see him. And he, in turn, sees you. But for this you must have a special camera. It's called a webcam and is built into every modern laptop, tablet or smartphone. For personal computer it can be purchased separately.

To make a video call, click on the caller and click on the button with a camera image.

For video communication, the Internet must be high-speed and preferably unlimited.

Correspondence is an exchange text messages(chat). You write what you want to say and get a response. In the chat, you can send not only a message, but also a file: photo, video, document.

For correspondence, use the lower window. Just click on the user in your contacts list first.

Before you start chatting, pay attention to the icon next to the user icon. If it is green with a tick inside, it means the person is currently on Skype and will be able to answer. And if the icon is yellow, red or empty (white), it means the subscriber is busy or offline.

How to find out your login

Login (nickname) is your Skype address, personal number in the system. It consists of English letters without spaces, and may include numbers and signs. Examples of addresses: ivan.petrov, live:petrov_19, petrucho333

Where can I see my login?. To find out your login into the program on your computer, click on your name in the upper left corner. Your address will be written in the “Accounts” section.
