Call someone who's on Skype
Call someone in your Contact list:
Click the Contacts button at the top of Skype.
In the list, find the person you want to call.
Click on them. (Remember - anyone with one of these beside them
is on Skype so it's free to call. Anyone with one of these
means it's a phone or mobile number and calls will cost you a little.)
You will see their details in the main window.
Click the green Call button. You should hear ringing. If you don't hear the other person or they can't hear you, click the call quality icon at the top of your call window.
To hang up, click the red End call button.
Useful things you can do on a call:
-
Mute – click this icon
to mute your microphone so the other person can't hear you.
-
Hold – click on this icon
to put the call on hold.
- Turn video on – if you've got a webcam plugged in, click the green Video call button to make it a video call.
