Launch the Skype app on your mobile phone.On the profile page that opens up, your ID is listed in front of the heading, “Skype Name.”.At the top left of the screen where you have your profile picture and name, click on either your profile picture or name to open up the menu.On the Profile page, locate your Skype ID listed in front of the heading, “Skype Name.”.If you’re prompted to do so, sign in with your Microsoft account credentials.For example, if your email address is your Skype ID will be live:john_doe. If you sign up with your email address, your Skype ID will be “live:” + the local-part of the email address (the part of the email address before the sign). The system generates live IDs for Skype differently, based on what credentials you use to sign up. However, things have changed since Skype got acquired by Microsoft Skype Live IDs are now automatically generated by the system when signing up, and you can no longer change your live ID once it is created. Back when Skype was still a standalone company, users could specify their own usernames and customize it even after creating their account. A Skype ID is unique to each Skype account and identifies that account amongst the global collection of Skype accounts. Hence, you can think of it in the same context that you think of usernames on other apps like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Simple.Simply put, your Skype Live ID is your Skype username. But on the phone? I think not as everything is tied to one ID and bouncing from MS account to MS account is not only pointless, but destroys the functionality of the handset in one fell swoop. I MUST use my phone for calls to my family and others using my credits, but I often MUST log into Skype to address a business issue from my phone as well.Īlso, in Windows, at least if I wanted to, I could create these separate accounts in MS to accomplish this (ick). I move between those accounts in single sessions sometimes for business reasons. It means I MUST log onto Windows with the other ID tied to w second or third account.
Just tried on Metro to see if it had changed. I must be able to log into these accounts separately.
I have 2 different work accounts and a personal account I use credit on for phone calls. I can't use the metro version on Windows 8.1 for this reason.
