 Skype, like most chat programs, uses a list of contacts or “buddies” that lets you keep in touch with your friends, family, or whomever you want to be able to talk to with the program. 

This lesson shows you how to find and add a contact to your list.

Setting your “status”

 3:35 Your “status” is a way to let people know if you are available for a conversation in Skype. Setting your status to Available, Away, Busy, etc. is easy to do, and being able to recognize when one of your contacts in Skype might not be able to chat is a simple but important skill.

Having a text chat

 4:04 One of the ways you can talk with people using Skype is by having a “text chat”. This is sort of like an email in that you’re typing messages back and forth, but it’s live and in real time, sent one or two lines at a time via “instant messages”. 

Take a look at the lesson to see what I mean.

Calling someone with Skype

 3:11 See how to call someone in your contact list so you can have an audio (voice) conversation, or even a video conversation with them for free, anywhere in the world. 

Note: voice chats may work on dialup & other very slow connections, but video chats will not, because dialup is just too slow. Video chats also need a web cam, which often comes included in many modern computers.

Please also note that during the lesson you see me on a video chat and you may notice my voice and my lips’ movement is not in sync — this is caused by the recording of the video lesson, and does not happen when you are in an actual video chat.
