Now, let’s spice things up a bit by adding an “emoticon” to our message. When they click the send button ( ) or press the “Enter” key, their message will display on your screen. When the other person is writing a message back to you, you will see the message “ is typing…” at the bottom of the message list. Now, let’s wait for Alyson to send a message back to us. When you’re done, click the send button ( ) or press the “Enter” key on your keyboard. Click inside the box at the bottom that says “Type a Message Here” and type in what you want to say to the person. We’ll get into how to use those in the Skype Calls and Skype Video Chat tutorials.įor now, we’re just going to send a basic message.
The buttons in the top-right corner let you do things like call the person, video chat with them, or add another person to the conversation. The lighter messages aligned to the right are from you, and the darker messages aligned to the left are from the other person (you can also tell because their picture is beside them). Your main window will change to show you a history of messages (and other activities) between you and the selected person, including the date and time of each action. A person’s name will be highlighted when they are selected. Her status says that she is “Online”, so she will probably answer us fairly immediately if we send her a message (as opposed to Steve, as his status is set to “Away”). In this example, we’re going to message Alyson, our video producer here at Techboomers. In the Contacts menu on the left-hand side, click on the person you want to send messages to, in order to select them. Open your Skype desktop program and log in. Basically, it consists of you sending quick text messages back and forth with someone else who is currently using Skype. The “Messenger” feature is one of the most basic ways that you can use Skype.
