🔑 Key Notes

• Microsoft account integration: If you already use Outlook, Xbox Live, or OneDrive, you can log into Skype directly with that account.

• Security tip: Use a strong password and enable two-step verification for extra protection.

• Contacts: You can add friends by searching their Skype ID, email, or phone number.

• Calls: Once contacts are added, you can start free voice/video calls or send instant messages.

⚠️ Risks & Tips

• Avoid fake download sites: Always download Skype from the official site or app store.

• Check privacy settings: Adjust who can call or message you in Skype’s settings to avoid spam.

• Data usage: Video calls consume more internet data, so use Wi-Fi when possible.
