Good day, dear visitors of my blog start-luck. I am writing this article for an adult, one might say the elderly generation, who are not particularly versed in computers. There is some information here that will be of interest to young people. For example, how to hide my last name, but first of all it is important for me that everyone can register.
I'm going to write in great detail and pay maximum attention to the little things, so I apologize in advance to those who already know everything. However, among my visitors there are those who do not want to ask their grandson and son for help. They are well aware that they will cope with the task themselves. And that's great.
Sometimes it seems to me that the Internet in general can be divided into the era "before skype" and "after". It was this program that made the Internet necessary for every person.
Before the appearance of this program, the adult generation still doubted whether they really needed a computer, whether it would bring real benefits. Skype was the first program that made it possible to make long-distance calls abroad and say as much as you like without spending a penny.
Today I will tell you how to create a Skype account. This can be done for free, but there are some subtleties, so I will try to write the publication in such a way that everyone understands it.
Make a decision - phone or mail
If you are interested in learning more about that, you can read an article about it from my blog. Registration, even in Skype, is the creation of a username and password.
It is free of charge, but in order to confirm that you are a real person, your identity must be verified via phone, email, Microsoft account or Facebook. Foreign analogue of Odnoklassniki.
You need one thing. You can do without email and everything else, but then you need to enter a mobile phone number. It is possible without a Microsoft account and other data, but in this case you will have to insert the mailbox address.
A service from Yandex is also suitable, but unfortunately, there is no such publication on my blog yet. If you want, you can subscribe to my blog mailing list and be the first to know about this article and many others that will be just as useful.
Do not be afraid to enter your phone number, you will not be charged for this.
registration
Now we open the browser. I will operate through Yandex. Any other will do: Google Chrome, Mozilla FireFox, and so on. It's just that this one seems to me the most familiar to the audience for which I am creating this article.
Now we have two ways with you: either open Skype in a browser, in which case you can use the program online. Just visit this site periodically and chat with friends, or you can download Skype to your computer.
Online service
Let's start by opening skype in a browser and show you how to operate through it. I suggest you do the same. I click on the transparent white button and get to this page. At the very bottom, under the "Login" button, there is a link: New account. Click on it.
You can enter your mobile phone number in the fields provided for this and Any combination of letters without spaces in English that you can remember. Next, you will receive a message on this number, you will paste the code into the field on the site and complete the registration.
I prefer to click on "Use an existing address" and register via mail. I press this link.
In the window that appears, you will have the option to "get a new email address from Microsoft." The link is located at the bottom. I do not advise you to do this. There will be too many complications later with confirmation.
Just enter the address of your existing mail and come up with a password.
Now enter your first and last name. If you do not want your surname to be displayed in other people on Skype, you can use a middle name. If you put a period in this field, then it simply will not be displayed in your profile, but you will be allowed to go to the next step.
Now enter the verification code. Most likely, it has already come to your phone if you registered through it or in a letter to the mail, if you used this method when registering.
This is what this letter looks like. The code is highlighted in bold.
That's all, you can go to the program by clicking "Get Started".
Ready. Now, if I go to the official site, then select the "Open skype in browser" option and enter the phone number and email address and password that I just came up with, I will get into this window.
That's it, you can use the online version of the program.
If you can't get into your account at login, try using only the information that goes before "@ ya.ru" or "@ gmail.com". That is, if you registered using mail [email protected], then enter only primer.
Installing the software
If you want to have a Skype program on your computer, then when entering the skype.com/ru/ website, select the blue button: "Download".
Again the blue Download for Windows button.
The program has started downloading to your computer. If you, like me, use Yandex Browser, then it will appear in the upper right corner. Just click on the icon when the download is complete.
Agree to the terms and conditions and wait until the program is installed.
When you enter the program, you can also "Create an account".
There is little left: check the equipment and set the profile picture. Click on "Continue".
Check the sound, how the microphone works, and make sure the camera is working. In fact, you can do without it, it is much more convenient. Click Continue.
Again the same button.
You can "Take a picture" for the avatar right now, from the camera, or by selecting the "Browse" button, find a suitable picture on your computer.
Click "Use this image".
That's all, it remains only to "Use".
Ready. You are in the program. The next time you log in, you will immediately be taken to this window, you don't even have to enter the data.
If you ever need to read an article on my blog how exactly this is best done so that nothing is left on your computer.
By the way, whatever you say, but creating sites is not much more difficult. I can recommend you well " Zombie to Internet Entrepreneur » , video tutorials in which it is also easy and simple to talk about how sites are created. I am convinced you have something to tell the world!
Well, that's all, see you again and good luck in your endeavors.
Any software uses registration data to identify the user within the system. A person, on the other hand, uses virtual "passport data" for authorization, the ability to use standard functionality. Today we will talk about what is registration in Skype, consider the characteristic features of the procedure.
What is a Skype account
In the course of the storytelling, we will look at the features of creating an account on different devices and platforms. However, first, let's answer the hovering question what is a Skype account?
Account- a set of personal information by which the system identifies the user, synchronizes and provides the required data. An analogy with a passport, which also has a unique code and information about a citizen of the country in question, will help to simplify the understanding of the ephemeral object.
The differences between the two objects are in the real and virtual layers of being.
Skype registration
If you are determined to become a part of the project, you will have to create a new account in accordance with the requirements prescribed by the system. Below we will describe all the available methods on a computer and mobile phone.

This completes the registration procedure for Skype using your phone number. Now, in order to log into Skype, use your phone number as a login.
Registration by mail

- We indicate the phone number to which the confirmation code will be sent. Specifying the phone number is necessary for additional protection of the account and this item cannot be skipped.
Registration is over, now to enter Skype, use your email address as a login.
If you don't have an email address, you can quickly create one in any email service. Or, when registering at point 3, select “Get a new e-mail address” - in this case, you can create a new mailbox in the Outlook service.
Registration using a browser
The procedure for registering in Skype online is not much different from the standard for a personal computer. The passage of the provided stages will take up to five minutes, after which unlimited possibilities open up.
Here's a step-by-step guide to making your plans a reality:
The registration process in Skype on a laptop is not fraught with problems, and the methods are the same as for a regular computer.
Sign up for Skype on your phone
How to register in Skype on the phone, we will be told by step-by-step instructions, the points of which are presented below:
Check the correctness of entering the phone number in Skype during registration, as an error will lead to the procedure for binding a new number sequence. Banal advice - make sure that the entered information complies with international standards and check with the real number.
Additional questions about registration
How to create a new Skype account if you already have one
Many are interested in how to create a new Skype account, if one already exists. All you need to do is register a new Microsoft account with a new email address and a new mobile phone number.
In this case, user information will not be synchronized with the old account, but you will get much more. Separating personal and professional activities is a good form both on social networks and in popular instant messengers.
How to sign up for Skype without Microsoft account
On the forums, the question is often asked how to register in Skype without Microsoft "account". We are in a hurry to satisfy the impatience of users - no way. Rather, a Microsoft account is created along with the Skype login, it is not needed directly for registration. This is due to the fact that the account creation system has undergone significant changes. In order to strengthen the protection of the account from hacking and theft of personal data, Microsoft was forced to sacrifice the usual way of creating an account through the desired login. Now account login is either email address or mobile phone number , but old users can also log in with their old Skype username as before. After creation, the account is also assigned technical identifier as live:… (this is not a login! Login is an email or phone number) It is used mainly for internal purposes.
Instead of a conclusion
Skype is a popular messenger for sending text and voice messages, files of "questionable" content, the size and number of which is not limited by the system. However, their safety is guaranteed, since the software uses a modern data encryption system.
How to start using Skype? If you are just taking the first steps in mastering this means of communication, then, we assure you, everything is simple. You just need to download Skype and register in the system. And you will immediately become a full-fledged subscriber.
You can download Skype on our website. We always have the latest version of the installation files available, ideally compatible with the servers. This way you will avoid problems that are possible if you use the Skype installation file from other sources.
Don't be confused by the small size of the installation file. Once launched, it downloads everything you need from the Internet, so you don't have to waste precious space on your drive.
The next step after downloading Skype is to register. Free and simple. All you need to do is click on the "Create an account" link that appears in the window when you start the program under the field for entering a name.
In the same window, you can choose whether to link your Skype account to a phone number or to an email address. Both options have their advantages: it is easier to restore access by the number, it is easier to maintain relative anonymity at the address. Enter your phone number or e-mail address and come up with a strong memorable password. After that, you can log into Skype using your fresh account and chat with other users.
Although registration in Skype is free, there are still some paid options: for example, calls from Skype to regular phone numbers.
This method explains how to download Skype (and register for free) on your computer. However, with mobile versions, everything is exactly the same. Download the Skype application from Google Play or the AppStore and create an account in the same way. If necessary, you can use it on your computer and on another mobile device.
Of course, every Skype user wants to have a nice username that he chooses for himself. After all, through the login, the user will not only enter his account, but through the login, other users will contact him. Let's find out how to create a Skype username.
If earlier, any unique nickname in Latin letters could act as a login, that is, a pseudonym invented by the user (for example, ivan07051970), now, after the purchase of Skype by Microsoft, the login is the email address or the phone number under which the user is registered with your Microsoft account. Of course, many people criticize Microsoft for this decision, because it is easier to show your individuality with an original and interesting nickname than a banal postal address or phone number.
Although, at the same time, now it is also possible to find the user by the data that he indicated as his first and last name, but to enter the account, unlike the login, this data cannot be used. Actually, the name and surname are currently performing the function of a nickname. Thus, there was a separation of the login under which the user logs into his account, and the nickname (first and last name).
However, users who registered their logins before this innovation use them the same way, but when registering a new account, you have to use an email or phone number.
Login creation algorithm
Let's take a closer look at the current login creation procedure.
The easiest way is to register a new login through the Skype interface. If this is the first time you log into Skype on this computer, then simply launch the application, but if you already have an account, then you must immediately log out of your account. To do this, click on the "Skype" section of the menu, and select the "Sign out of account" item.
The program window reloads, and the login form opens in front of us. But, since we need to register a new username, we click on the words "Create an account".
As you can see, initially it is proposed to use a phone number as a login. If you wish, you can also choose an e-mail box, which will be discussed a little further. So, we enter the code of our country (for Russia + 7), and a mobile phone number. It is important to enter true data here, otherwise you will not be able to confirm their truthfulness via SMS, which means that you will not be able to register a login.
In the very bottom field, enter an arbitrary but strong password, through which we are going to enter our account in the future. Click on the "Next" button.
In the next window, enter the real name and surname, or a pseudonym. This is not essential. We click on the "Next" button.
And now, an SMS with a code comes to the phone number you specified, which you must enter in the newly opened window. Enter, and click on the "Next" button.
That's it, the login has been created. This is your phone number. By entering it and the password, in the corresponding login form, you will be able to log into your account.
If you want to use e-mail as a login, then on the page where you are prompted to enter a phone number, you need to go to the entry "Use an existing e-mail address".
In the window that opens, you enter your real email address and a password that you have created. Then, you need to click on the "Next" button.
Like last time, in a new window, enter the first and last name. Go to the "Next" button.
In the next window, you need to enter the activation code that came to your email. Enter and click on the "Next" button.
Registration is over, and the login function is performed by e-mail.
You can also register a login on the Skype website by going there through any browser. The registration procedure there is absolutely identical to that which is carried out through the program interface.
As you can see, in view of the innovations, it is currently not possible to register under the login in the same form as it was before. Although the old logins continue to exist, it will no longer be possible to register them in a new account. In fact, now the functions of logins in Skype during registration began to be performed by e-mail addresses and mobile phone numbers.
To register on Skype you need: Skype, email and a couple of minutes of time.
If you haven't got your mail yet, then it's time to create one. explains how to do it quickly and easily.
There are two ways to register in skype. It all depends on whether it is installed on your computer.
If installed, all that remains is to register. And you can do it by following a couple of steps of this simple instruction.
If you haven't installed Skype, install it. During the installation process, you will be able to register. You can read about how to install and register in skype at the same time.
If you already have Skype installed on your computer, launch it. To do this, click on the skype icon on your desktop. Or, another way, click "START" and there select "Skype".
Click on the word "Register" as shown in the picture.
A page with a questionnaire will open. Fill out the form (an example is our picture below). By the way, no one forces you to indicate your real name and surname - you can indicate a fictitious one or a pseudonym.
ADVICE.
You can register on Skype by entering your data from facebook. But, it is better if you register in the usual way, following our instructions. Let everything be separate - this is the best option.
Select your country and language. Most likely, they are already selected automatically. But, it is not necessary to indicate information about the location, phone number and date of birth when registering skype.
Login and password - you must write in English letters. If the text appears when entering the login "This Skype login cannot be used"- it's okay, just the specified name is already taken by someone. You need to select a name from the list or enter some other.
ADVICE. On the one hand, it is better to make the password more complex. On the other hand, it should be such that they themselves can easily remember. Be sure to remember your Skype login information (username and password)! Better write it down somewhere! To write a good password, you can do this: switch the keyboard to English, then enter some word in Russian. For example, the word "best" would be written as "kexifz". The word is easy to remember and it will be difficult for an intruder to gain access to your data.
Enter the words from the picture and click on the big green button. If the first time you fail to enter the text from the picture correctly, do not be discouraged and try again.
If the questionnaire was filled out correctly, then the following page will open. Skype is a free program, so the deposit sign shouldn't bother you. Just select a disclaimer and click the "Continue" button. Congratulations, you are now a new Skype user! Skype registration is complete.
ADVICE. The page can be closed. If you are not going to view it again, click on the Skype logo in the upper right corner.
And then, to the "exit".
Start skype if it is not running. Enter your username, password. Then press the button, (see the picture below).
Good to know. If you check the boxes “Autom. authorization at the start of Skype "and" Start Skype at startup. computer ”, the program will start automatically every time, and you don’t have to enter your data every time. This is what everyone usually does. However, you should not do this if someone else uses the computer, because a stranger will be able to log into Skype and access your correspondence, and even worse, start writing something of his own on your behalf or even change the password. To avoid this, it is better to uncheck the box next to “Autom. authorization at startup ".
