It does not matter if it is for a buddy in a different country or a potential boss scheduling an interview; you have to always make yourself easily accessible on Skype with your display name. And luckily for you, your display name can be changed via Skype’s desktop application or the mobile application for iPhone and Android.
These 2 platforms will need to access your settings to make your preferred changes. You must also know that your display name is not the same as your username. A custom username could be created in the past, but these days, usernames are randomly-assigned codes, meaning your display name is the important way for anyone to locate you.
