Sharing with Your Contacts on Skype

There are two more ways to communicate with your contacts on Skype. The first is screen sharing, a feature that lets you share live video of what's on your computer screen (for example, a website, or the software you're using). It's a great way to demonstrate how to do something, or show the other person what you're working on.

The second is sending files to your contacts. This feature lets you share any size or type of file, including documents, photos, presentations, and other things that you have saved to your computer.

To Share Your Screen:
Open the Skype window and sign in.
Make a voice call or video call to one of your contacts.
Click the + button in the call window, and choose Share screens.
The other person will be able to see live video of what's on your screen, including your desktop, and any programs that you may have open. Below is an example of what it will look like from their point of view.
To stop sharing your screen, click the Stop sharing button.
As usual, click the End Call button when you're ready to hang up.
