How to create an account for Skype

In order not to scare potential users, Microsoft (the official owner and program developer) made the account registration process as simple as possible - anyone can master it. For this:

swing and install Skype from the official site (here you can choose a version for almost any device, including a smartphone or tablet, "smart clock", TV, even xbox);
we run the program;
on the screen that offers to enter a login, click on the "Create New Account" link;
similarly, you can create an account through Web browser;
anyway, the registration interface will offer us to enter the phone number or use email instead;
before pressing the Next button, it is desirable at least to familiarize themselves with the rules for using the service (even if you did not read them, click on the button implies consent to all written);
if you still do not have an email mailbox, which can be used to register, Microsoft will offer to create it on a separate link;
by choosing a registration method (email or phone), enter the address that will be our login;
invent a password that must contain more than 8 symbols of the Latin;
we click "Next" again and fill out two more fields: with the name and surname (designed to make it easier for people to find);
the next time you click on the "Next", the page will notify that the code is sent to the specified email or the phone to confirm registration;
we enter it into the form, once again click "Next" and complete the process of obtaining an account in Skype;
after the registration procedure is completed, the service will redirect you to the authorization page where you need to enter your username and password to enter the program.

Alternative ways to use accounts to enter Skype

In addition to the described method, there are other curious alternatives to authorization in the Skype program. If you are registered on Facebook, you can easily use the account of this social network to enter the account. Its login and password will become data for the Skype account. To do this:

we run the program;
in the window that requests the login \\ Paskod (bottom and right), click on the link "Login via Facebook";
we enter your username and password from the Facebook account;
click on the "Login" button;
we are waiting for redirects, after again click on the "Login via Facebook" item;
for the account to be used by default, leave the Automatic Authorization flag when starting Skype and click on the "Allow" button (Facebook) button;
unfortunately, this feature works only on a PC, from the mobile will have to come as usual.

Log in with Microsoft account in Skype

Another way to create "account" Skype implies the use of an account from Microsoft. It can already be with you if you enjoyed Outlook.com, OneDrive, Windows Phone and Xbox Live (or others, from the same company). To create an account from scratch, follow the linkand fill in all the field offered by the site, and then click "Create Account". In the future, when you enter the login and password from the created account, you can easily use all the advantages of Skype. The advantage of this method is that you can easily go to the account with an absolutely any device, and not just on the PC.
