Registering a new account on Skype. What is needed for a new registration
Registration on Skype is not difficult, but for novice users it often causes difficulties. Therefore, I made very detailed instructions.
Registering for Skype on a computer or laptop
Go to the official Skype page in Russian: https://www.skype.com/ru/
Skype home page in Russian
On the main page, in the upper right corner there is a Login button. Press this button.
In the window that opens, enter your mobile phone number. You can enter an address instead of a phone number. To do this, click the Use an existing email address link.
Another window will open in which you need to enter your mailbox address. It must be working, because the code will come to it. Click Next.
Then you need to come up with a password, at least 8 characters. In this case, the characters should not be of the same type (for example, only numbers), but belong to different categories (English letters large, small, numbers, signs). If the system does not generate a password error, click Next.
Enter the First Name and Last Name in this window and click Next.
Check the mailbox that you specified at the beginning of registration, find an email with a four-digit code. Enter the Code in the box and click Next.
If you did not indicate an email, but a mobile phone number, then a different window will open. Enter the code received via SMS into it and click Next.
Finally, we have reached the point of completing the registration of our account. Now you need to figure out what kind of signs are drawn in the picture. I usually look at them with a magnifying glass. Disassembled? Did you write it in? Click Next.
You are now registered in the system. Write down your login(phone number, or email address) and password in a notebook. You only need to create your account once. After this, the data you provided during registration will be stored on the Skype server and will not be lost anywhere, no matter what happens to your computer.
Thanks to your username and password, you can log into your Skype account from any computer, tablet, or smartphone on which Skype is installed. And immediately contact your friends.
But, it is better to communicate not through a browser, as in this case, but to install the Skype program. It is much more convenient to communicate through it. And all contacts and chats are saved. Where to download the Skype program - more on that below.
How to register for Skype on your phone
Creating a Skype account via phone is more convenient than via a desktop computer or laptop. I will show you step by step how to register for Skype from your phone (Android smartphone).
1. Go to PlayMarket
Go to PlayMarket. Enter the word “Skype” into the search window.
2. Select the line with the Skype logo
Several lines with the word "Skype" appear. The first line will be with the program logo. Click on this line.
3. Click Install
The Skype page in the Play Store will open. Click the Install button.
4. Click Open
The program will take some time to install. When the Uninstall and Open buttons appear, it means the program has been installed. Click on Open.
5. Click: Create account
At this step, users who have previously registered with Skype via a PC or other smartphone can click Sign In, enter their credentials and start communicating. And those who have not yet registered on Skype click: Create an account.
6a. Registration in Skype with phone number
Select the Country, enter the mobile phone number, and click Next.
If, for some reason, you do not want to link your account to a phone number, then, under the Next button, click: Use an existing email address.
6b. Registering on Skype without a phone number
In this case, enter the address of electronic mailbox 1 (it must be working, because a confirmation code will be sent to it). By the way, look how free it is. Click Next 2
7. Enter the password
We come up with a strong password and enter it in the password field 1 and click the Next button 2. If you enter a weak password, you will be prompted in red font to tell you that the password must be at least 8 characters that are at least two of the following types: upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols.
8. Enter your first and last name
At this step, enter your first and last name in any language.
9a. Enter the code received via SMS
If you indicated your mobile phone number, then enter the code received via SMS and click Next.
9b. Enter the code from the letter
If you specified an email, then enter the code that you received in your mailbox 1, click Next 2
10. Enter the code from the picture
We complete creating an account on Skype. To confirm that the account is created by a person and not a robot, enter the code from the picture, click Next, and you will be taken to your Skype account.
You will be asked to select a theme and make other settings. You are now registered with Skype and with these registration details (I think you have written them down) you can log into your account from any computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Video from our Virtual Computer Academy. In this video tutorial you will see how to independently register your profile on the Skype server, how to install the Skype program on your computer, how to set up sound, and how to show your monitor screen to your interlocutor.
Where to download Skype in Russian for free
Do not download Skype from third-party sites! You can download the latest version on the official website of the program, on the main page: https://www.skype.com/ru/
![](https://i1.wp.com/pc-pensioneru.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/skachat-skype.jpg)
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.
You need to create an account by registering. This can be done in two ways: on the official website https://www.skype.com/ru/ and in the program itself. In the first option, you need to follow the link, click on the down arrow next to the “Login” button and select the appropriate item.
You can also create an account directly on Skype. If you are a new user, a login form will open upon startup. At the bottom of the program there is a “Create an account” button, click on it. If you already have a Skype account, or someone has used it on your computer before you, creating a new one will be possible after you log out of the old one.
Regardless of the chosen method, the procedure for registering a new user in Skype is the same. Similar actions are performed both on the website and in the program itself.
Procedure
You can register either using a mobile phone number or an email account. The choice does not significantly affect anything; it determines the option for activating the account. Switching options is done using the buttons at the bottom of the form. Moreover, both the mobile phone and the email will subsequently act as a login or account name. Accordingly, they cannot be used to open another account.
Once the previous paragraph is completed, you can begin to compose a password. It must consist of at least six characters. The complexity of the combination determines the security of your account, so it is recommended to use a combination of letters of different case with numbers. The password may also contain special characters, such as a percent sign. Now click “Next”.
On this Skype registration is close to completion. The system will prompt you to enter your first and last name. The fields can be filled out not only in English, but also in Russian. It is impossible to skip this point. When you fill them out, click on the “Next” button again.
Depending on the login option, the system will prompt you to confirm your phone number via a code in an SMS message or an email with a four-digit combination that will come in a letter.
By pressing the button the procedure will be completed. This is the easiest way to register for Skype.
In modern society, when no one can imagine their life without conversations on the Internet and learning new computer technologies, the problem of long distances has practically ceased to be relevant. Every evening, with the help of electronic gadgets, millions of people complete work projects, do math calculations and, of course, get in touch with the people they love.
Traditional letters are rarely sent these days because they reach the recipient slowly. International calls on a landline are expensive. It is in such a seemingly hopeless situation that special programs for verbal communication come to the rescue. A type of such software is Skype. An application like this is very popular in the world because it is easy to manage and its functionality expands with each update.
This article provides all the basic information for registering and working on Skype. The article will introduce a beginner to installing the software, tell you how to register in the program and explain the features of the work.
About the company and the program
The Skype application was developed by a couple of businessmen - Danish Janus Friis and Swede Niklas Zennström. The first version of the program appeared on a September day in 2003, and with it the application website. Thanks to such software, hundreds of thousands of users have the opportunity to conduct text chat in a classic format and communicate directly using voice. You can make calls not only to one, but also to several people, i.e. They do conferences on Skype.
The traditional chat process can also be conducted in groups. The correspondence history is saved automatically, and users can even send each other emoticons. It is also important that the application allows you to send different files to your interlocutor, and their size is not limited, and downloading can be automatically resumed after finding a lost Internet signal or re-entering the program.
Necessary equipment
Using Skype with all its capabilities requires some technology. Some of these devices are built into the laptop or processor. To hear your conversation partner, you need to have speakers or speakers, and a microphone is needed to transmit the signal. If you expect to appear to your interlocutor, purchase or set up a webcam. If you wish, you can buy a camera combined with a microphone. Such acquisitions will cost no more than a thousand rubles.
Download and install Skype
The undeniable advantage of Skype is its free availability on the Internet. There is no need to pay money to download the program to your computer. It is best to get the application from the official website skype.com, because this way you will have the latest version of the software and will not get a virus on your computer or electronic gadget. The download itself is carried out in several stages:
- By clicking on the required link in the menu on our website, you will find yourself on the software download page and will receive an offer to download the program for free. Click once on the corresponding download button using the left side of the mouse.
- The download process will start automatically and the app icon will appear in your browser's download menu.
After downloading, you should install Skype on your computer. Start by clicking on the SkypeSetup.exe file with the left side of the mouse (Fig. 9). A window with automatic installation of the program will open in front of you on the monitor. Click on the “Run” button with the left half of the mouse.
Figure 9. Browser loading line with Skype ready for installation
The program will prompt you to select the language in which the entire application interface will be displayed (Fig. 11). You can then change this setting. You will also see the text of the Software Terms of Use, which you must read and agree to. Click on the link (Fig. 11 (c)) with the left side of the mouse, read the document and click once on the “I agree - Next” button (Fig. 11 (d)).
Figure 11: a) Skype update window, b) Language selection line, c) Skype Terms of Use, d) Button to confirm agreement with the Terms
Now that all the terms and conditions for using the program have been accepted, a window with updates will appear on the screen (Fig. 12). The application independently finds the latest versions of Skype developments and places them on your computer.
Figure 12. Skype update window while searching for updates
The next window that appears independently is the registration stage (Fig. 13).
Figure 13. Registration window in the program.
When the Skype application is completely loaded into the computer's memory, the registration stage in the program begins.
Registration in the Skype program
To quickly and fully communicate on Skype, you need to register, i.e. choose a unique username and password. This stage is very simple and consists of a few quick steps.
- After installing the application, you will see a window on the screen for registering or logging into the program (Fig. 14(a)). Creating an account, i.e. registration occurs after activating the “Registration of new users” button with the left side of the mouse (Fig. 14 (b)).
Figure 14: a) Window for registering and logging into the program;
b) Button “register new users”
- Then you are transferred to the registration web page (Fig. 15). Personal information is entered after placing the cursor in the appropriate line. You just need to left-click on the field you are interested in to fill out. Indicate your full name (Fig. 15 (a)), email (Fig. (b)). Next, use your mouse wheel to scroll down the page and continue entering the data.
Figure 15. Internet page for registering in the program: a – fields for entering first and last names; b- columns for entering an email address
- The following fragment of the page is necessary to contain the information that will help you find your account in the list of Skype users. For relatives and friends, you can provide only the information you consider necessary. However, if there is a “*” next to the field (Fig. 16 (a)), it is mandatory to fill out the line, otherwise registration will not occur.
Figure 16. Continuation of the registration page: a – columns “Country” and “Language”, required to be filled out
- The final stage is to designate a name and password to log into Skype. Scroll the page you are on a little lower and click on the form for creating a login with a password (Fig. 17).

b) password entry field; c) password re-entry field, d) security text display field; e) help icons for reading security text; f) security text input field.
Click the mouse to enter data. First there is a column for the name, and then for the password. The last information is entered twice (Fig. 17 (c)) so that you check your password for errors and eliminate the possibility of problems logging into Skype.
In order for registration to be completed, you need to go through the identification procedure. It is entered into the program to identify you as an honest user, and not a robot or a virus carrier. You just need to enter the specified text (Fig. 19 (a)) in the appropriate column (Fig. 19 (b)). Typing occurs after pressing the left half of the mouse once on the desired field and switching the language layout on the keyboard. If you cannot read the inscription, refer to the auxiliary buttons (Fig. 19 (c)). If necessary, you can generate the text again, listen to it, or launch help from the application. You just need to click on the appropriate icon.

b) security text input field; c) help tools.
To complete registration, click on the “I agree -Next” button.
Now registration is completed, and you have a personal page in the application!
Next, the browser automatically sends you to the page for replenishing your individual account in the program. Check the box next to “No, thanks, I want to start using Skype” (Fig. 20 (a)) and left-click on “Continue” (Fig. 20 (b)). Please note that the program itself is free to use, but some functions cost money. However, they are rarely needed.

Check your email. There should be a letter on it stating that registration has been confirmed. The text of the letter contains your password and account name, so save the information sent.
Login to the program. Personal and basic settings.
The application can only be used after logging into Skype. It's easy to do:
- Find the Skype icon on your computer desktop (Fig. 21) and double-click on it.

You are redirected to the section with personal data. Here you can enter home and work phone numbers and an additional email address. All fields are filled in after a single mouse click. You can also install a photo (avatar) on the page. With the left side of the mouse, click on the “Change avatar” offer. The button is located next to the photo space in the first half of the page (Fig. 24).
Now a window has automatically opened to select the desired photo (Fig. 25). Click on “Browse” once and view the contents of your computer through Explorer. Select the appropriate frame (Fig. 26).

To open a folder with the desired content, move your mouse over it and double-click. The same algorithm is saved for selecting the necessary photos. Then click on “Use Image”.
Basic application settings - network status and language. Since Skype exists in many countries around the world, its language range is huge. You can change this parameter by clicking on the “Tools” tab. Select “Change language” and review the list presented. Click with the left side of the mouse on the desired language (Fig. 27).

During a dialogue on Skype, you can post various statuses for the Network. It's about describing your communication capabilities. The application offers statuses such as “offline”, “away”, “online”, “do not disturb”. To select the desired state, open the “Skype” tab with one click of the mouse, click “Network status” and click on the desired button from the list provided (Fig. 28).

Working on Skype
Direct communication with friends and relatives is possible only after finding them in the Skype search engine and adding them to your contact list. To begin, in the main software window, select the “Contacts” tab by clicking on the usual left side of the mouse. From the expanded list, click on the “Add contact” button. Now a field for searching and adding people will appear (Fig. 29).

b) “Add” button
The window that opens contains columns for indicating any information that you have about the desired person. Enter your full name, email address, mobile or home phone number here. The search occurs automatically in the software, and after a while the results will appear on the screen: a list of individuals corresponding to the specified query (Fig. 30).
Figure 30. An example of a search query by login and a list of Skype search results.
Study the list presented and left-click on the first and last name of the person who suits you. If the required identity is not available, try providing other information. After selecting a person, the program will open a window for you asking you to share your personal data specified in Skype (Fig. 31). There will be many buttons on the screen, but the most important thing is to pay attention to the column with the message that will appear to the interlocutor as your greeting, and to the button for transmitting the request itself.
Figure 31. Window for sending a request to exchange contact information on Skype:
a) greeting message; b) button to send a request
The first time the greeting message is always generated by the application itself, so you may want to change it. To do this, click once with the mouse at the end of the text and erase it using the BackSpace key on the keyboard. Type the required message and click the submit request button. Your contact has now been sent to the other person. If he accepts the request for data exchange, he will appear in your list of contacts, and you will be able to call or chat back.
Communication in Skype computer software is possible in three ways: voice communication, video connection and correspondence:
- Standard calls in the application are the most intuitive function. Communication on Skype in this way can be equated to a regular conversation on the phone. To implement the possibility of voice communication, you must have a microphone and headphones or speakers. Some computers are equipped with this technology initially. To start a call, select a specific person in your list of people to communicate with and double-click on the name with the left mouse button. A window will open with a dialogue between you and the interlocutor. Look at the screen carefully. There are buttons for video calls, voice communication, sending messages, volume control and fields for typing text and displaying correspondence.
Figure 32: a) “Video call” button in Skype; b) “Call” button; c) message collection window; d) chat window; e) “Send message” button; e) volume button
To use the call function, you need to click the “Call” inscription in the dialog window with the left side of the mouse. You can also right-click (!) the mouse on the user name and select the call function from the list by clicking on it with the left half of the mouse once (Fig. 33).
- Video calls are designed so that users can not only hear each other, but also see each other. The function is only available with a webcam. To begin, select the button of the same name in the dialog box (Fig. 32 (a)) and click on it. You can also find this function in the list that appears next to the name of the interlocutor if you click on him with the right half of the mouse. The call window launches automatically in Skype (Fig. 34). Here you can see the avatar of the interlocutor and a small conversation control panel. The latter has buttons to disable and enable the webcam and microphone. There is also a function to change the volume and end the call. Any button can be pressed once with the left side of the mouse.
Figure 34: a) photo and name of the Skype caller; b) control panel
- In the chat, users can correspond with each other. The dialogue window has a large field for typing and sending messages (Fig. 32 (c)). Starting a conversation is available after placing the cursor in the typing box. Click in this field with the left side of the mouse once and start typing. You can send it by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard.
The three basic features of Skype are easy and popular even among beginners. It is impossible to do without them if you want to communicate with people dear to your heart. Therefore, use computer software and enjoy free and accessible dialogue.

Equipment list
Review the list to make sure you have everything you need to use Skype. You will need:
- High speed internet connection: for example, using DSL, satellite or cable Internet technology. A dial-up connection is sufficient for instant messaging, but not for voice or video calls.
- Speakers and microphone(built into the computer or connected separately). Some people prefer to use headphones or even a headset to hear sounds more clearly.
- Webcam for video communication. Many modern computers have built-in webcams. If your computer does not have one, you can purchase a webcam separately.
There are other accessories you might be interested in, such as a desk phone that you can connect to your computer (using a cable or wireless connection) and talk on it via Skype. These accessories can be expensive, but they are a good investment if you plan to purchase your own Skype number and use it frequently. To learn more about similar accessories, visit the Skype Store page.
Windows or Mac
There are two versions of Skype: for computers with an operating system Windows and computers Mac.
We'll focus on Skype for Windows, but Mac users don't have to worry. The functions of both versions are almost identical. Once you know the interface of the Mac version, you can follow and try all the actions that we will talk about in this tutorial.

How to register for Skype using a phone/tablet?
To register for Skype from a tablet or Android phone, you need to use a mobile phone number. To create an account, download the Skype client from the Android Play Store and launch it.
You will be asked to enter your phone number and create a password for your account.
