Top Five Skype Tips

May 22nd, 2006 · No Comments

Need to get more out of Skype? Here are the five most important things you can do. Being the skype.jpgwebmaster of www.SkypeTips.com and the author of ‘Skype Me!’ by Syngress Press I am often asked for help. In this article I will be discussing my top five Skype tips.

#1 – Get Stats About Your Calls

Turn on ‘Display Technical Call Info’. From the ‘Tools’ Menu, select ‘Options’ and then select ‘Advanced’. There you will see the last option ‘Display Technical Call Info’. This will allow you to see several important statistics about your Skype call. Why is this important? If you are experiencing a poor call, the information provided could help you to determine why your call quality may be bad or why your file transfers are slow.

In the following two screenshots, the first is what you would expect in a good Skype call, and the second is what you could expect from a call to or from a corporate network or a poor home configuration. You see this information when you drag you mouse over your contacts image in the main Skype window once you are on a call. Networking Pipeline | Top Five Skype Tips
