Hi Habiba,

You can easily install and use skype by following the below steps:

To get started with Skype, simply download and install it.

1. Go to the Skype website and click Get Skype for Windows desktop.
2. Save and run the Skype installation file.

If you get a message asking you to give Skype permission to go ahead with the installation, click Yes to continue.

1. Select your language, read Skype’s Terms of Use and Skype’s Privacy Policy, then click I agree – next.

1. Read the Skype Click to Call info. If you don’t want to install it, uncheck Install Skype Click to Call before you click Continue.
2. Read the Microsoft Service Agreement and Privacy Policy.

If you don’t want to set Bing as your internet search engine, or MSN as your home page, uncheck the boxes. Click Continue.
Skype installs. When the installation is finished, you’ll see the sign-in screen.
If you don’t have an account, click Create an account. If you already have an account, you’re ready to sign in and get started with Skype.


Once you have things set up properly and are happy with your video lighting, etc., go to your Contacts and right click on your friend or family member’s name.
As you can see, there are a bunch of options, most importantly “Video Call”. Choose that, and if they’re also online and connected to Skype at the same time, you’ll hear the audio of a phone ringing and they’ll have a window pop-up saying that you’re requesting a video call.
If they accept the call, after a few seconds you’ll see a big window of them and a little thumbnail of yourself.
They see the opposite, a big version of you, a little version of them. and as you might suspect, you can just start chatting with your first video call.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Lokesh
