Skype is a telecommunications app that offers video chat and voice calls on PCs, tabs, smartphones, Xbox One console, and smartwatches through the internet. Skype also offers instant messaging services and all users can transmit SMSes, clips, audio, and pictures, not excluding video conference calls.
Your Skype name is a special ID for your account, which is visible as several numbers and letters starting with the word “live.” Before Microsoft bought Skype, the ID was a customized username you chose when you created a fresh account. If you signed up during Skype’s early days, then you might still have that customized username.
Regardless, an old username or a new randomized name cannot be changed now. However, changing your Skype display name is still possible, but that is for a different tutorial. Skype users should expect their Skype ID will be seen on their Skype profile, in the iPhone app, Android mobile application, and in the desktop application. And the processes are almost similar.
