Skype, like any other program designed for instant communication with a remote interlocutor, you can use on any computer. This allows you to be online not only using your own or work computer or mobile device, but also with friends, in someone else's office, in an Internet cafe, etc. To do this, you just need to log in to the program using your username and password.
It is necessary
- - a computer;
- - access to the Internet;
- - Skype;
- - login from your account in the program;
- - password.
Instructions
Step 1
If Skype is not installed on your computer, download it from the Internet and run it. It is best to use the site of the program itself for this: it is distributed free of charge, so there is no need to search for it on dubious resources.
Step 2
If the program already exists on your computer, launch it. You can do this by clicking on its icon on the desktop or the quick launch icon in the "Start" menu.
Step 3
If there are no program icons on the desktop or in the "Start" menu, open the full list of programs in the latter, find Skype in it, hover over it and click on the icon and the name of the program in the drop-down menu.
Step 4
It is very likely that the owner of the computer has set up automatic authorization using his username and password every time he logs out to Skype. A variant is often encountered when the program automatically starts and authorizes the user every time the computer is turned on. In any case, you must log out of his account and log in to yours.
Step 5
In the program window, click the inscription Skype (leftmost on the top toolbar) and select "Exit" (second from the bottom in the drop-down menu).
Step 6
After that, the program will prompt you to select the login by which you would like to log in. If yours is not among those offered, enter it from the keyboard.
Step 7
At the bottom of the window, pay attention to the checkboxes opposite the commands for automatic authorization and launching the program when the computer is turned on. If there is a check mark next to the first one, remove it by clicking on it with the mouse. Otherwise, the next time you start the program, the computer owner will be logged into your account. Do not touch the second: let everything remain as it is convenient for the owner of the computer.
Step 8
When the session ends, exit the program again. If the owner of the computer is nearby, invite him to log in to his account again.
