Hello I just purchased a new laptop with Windows 10 and I linked my email to Microsoft sign in. When I clicked on the Skype app, apparently I was already signed up for Skype with my email address. I just want to figure out what my SKYPE ID is so that I
can share that info with others to make video calls. Is my ID/username my email? How do I change this? I have looked all over and no getting much help from the interwebs. Thanks in advance for your help.
Technically, your login information is your Skype Name/Username. If you sign in using your email then that is your Skype username.
Skype accounts created via Microsoft is considered a Live account.
You can view your live ID by clicking your Profile Picture. You will see it just below your Picture.
Also, it is not possible to change or edit your Skype username. What you need to provide to your friend is either your email or your live id so they can find you in the Skype directory.
Let me know if you have other concerns.
