Step-by-step video calling guide
To make free video calls you’ll need the latest version of Skype and a webcam and headset (if you don’t have a headset you can use the in-built speakers and microphone on your computer).
Don’t have a webcam? Visit our store to see a selection of Skype Certified ones.
Your webcam will normally come with an installation disc. Just pop the disc in your computer, before plugging the webcam in, and follow the on-screen instructions.
Now you’re ready to plug in your webcam. Find the USB port on your computer; it’s the one with the matching USB symbol.
Skype will automatically help you test your webcam to make sure everything is working correctly.
Now you can make video calls to anyone else with a webcam. Smile, wave, show off your new haircut.
