For messaging and Skype calls, you can launch it and learn how to log in to Skype. The first is that you run the installed program and a window should appear on your screen with an invitation to enter. You can log in to Skype using 3 different methods. So, how to log in to Skype:
- Using the username and password that you created on Skype.com. How to register is described
- Using a Microsoft account.
- Using your facebook account.
Which of these methods to enter Skype is up to you, but if you already have a facebook or microsoft account, then for me there is no need to create another additional one and remember the extra username and password. Plus, logging in via Facebook or Microsoft is automatic if you have already logged in with these logins.
So for the first method, click on the “Skype Login” button and go to the window for entering the Skype account login and password. In the field under number 1 we enter your unique login that you previously entered into yourself, in the field under number 2 we enter your unique password from the Skype account that you invented for yourself. If you want the program to automatically authorize you at startup, check the box in the lower right corner - “Auto. authorization when starting Skype. " And at the end, click the "Login" button. If several owners use this program on the computer where Skype is installed, then after all the logins, it will be possible to choose the login you want to login from from the drop-down list.
If you didn’t fill in one of the fields correctly (login or password), the program will give you this warning. If you can’t remember your username and password at all, you will have to restore your account.
In case of correctly entered login and password, Skype will start and you will see the initial screen of the program. To exit the Skype program, click in the upper left corner of the Skype menu and select "Exit" in the drop-down list.
The second way you can log in is to use your Microsoft account. This is essentially an analogue of a Google mail account (). This is a mailbox from Microsoft. If you have already started one, then just enter the login (1) and password (2). And Skype starts. If you want to register a Microsoft account, click the register link and after the registration procedure, sign in to Skype.
Well, the third way to log in is to use your Facebook account as an input. The procedure is no different from the previous ones. Enter the mail or your phone number that you used to register on facebook and the password for your facebook account.
