How to change Skype name?
One good news and one bad news. No, you can’t change your Skype name, because it is connected to your account. Therefore, people will always search for you on Skype using this name. However, there is a display name and you can change it. This name is also displayed under the contacts, so this usually solves your problem. Then it is often no longer necessary to change the account name.
Step-by-step instructions:
- Start Skype
- Click on the 3 dots at the top
- Select settings
- Under “Account & Profile”, click on “Your profile”. A browser window will open
- If necessary log in with your Skype data
- Click on “Edit profile”
- Now you can change the display name
- Select “Save”
- Done!
As you can see, you cannot change the account name, but in most cases you can easily avoid the problem. As we said, the account name remains and people will look for you under it. However, you will now have the desired name for your existing contacts, and that’s something too. We wish you much success and fun with Skyping!
