Skype is one of the best and most popular video communications programs on the Internet. It costs you nothing to open an account, download free software and talk face-to-face over the Internet. Of course, other services cost extra, but the basic service is free.
To Skype you’ll need high-speed Internet access, a computer with certain specifications and a webcam.
Here’s how to do it:
1) Go to the Skype webpage to download Skype and open an account. Scroll down to the very bottom of the page and select your computer system under the “Get Skype” menu.
2) Follow the step-by-step installation instructions, which will also enable you to set up your account.

Once you have opened an account on Skype, be sure to add your name onto your Profile.
