Additional Notes

Although Skype was designed as a internet telephone, as you can see from the video, it also functions quite well as a regular instant messaging program. Certain web cams are supported too, should you want to video chat.

As you get more confident using the program, you may find it quicker to add contacts using the Contacts menu. Choose "New Contact..." to add a contact whose Skype name you already know, or "Search for Skype Users..." to check if your friends have Skype accounts.
