What's my Skype name?
Here's how to find your Skype Name prior to scheduling your lesson.
There are two types of Skype Accounts.
If you sign into Skype using your username - that username is typically what we would call your "Skype Name" or "Skype ID".
However, if you sign into Skype using an email - then you probably signed up for Skype using your Microsoft account. This is the account you use for Microsoft Products. (Windows, XBox, etc.) This means that your Skype Name is your Live ID, ie. Live:contact_87746.
For users that sign in with their Microsoft Account, please supply us with your Skype Name / ID, because an email address can be linked to multiple Skype Accounts, while Skype Names / IDs are unique.
