How To Enable Screen Sharing Through Skype

This tutorial will explain how to enable partial or full screen 

sharing through Skype.

1. Open Skype. Login with your credentials.

2. Under contacts, click on name of the user with whom you 

 are going to share your computer screen.

Note: You can’t share screen with any random person. The 

other user with whom you are sharing your screen must have 

Skype installed on his computer, and also, he must be in your 

 contact list.

3. Go to Call-> Share Your Screen-> Share Full Screen.

Note: If you want to share only a small part of the screen 

then select “Share selection”. It gives you the option to adjust 

 the size of screen you want to share.

4. A dialog box appears giving you a message that screen sharing will also start an audio call. Click OK.

5. Your screen is shared now along with Skype audio call. 

You can use screen sharing for various purposes such as 

 discussion about any issues in your computer, showing 

project status to your clients or collaboration purpose.

Note: Screen sharing is only available in Mac (since Skype 
 2.8) and Windows (since Skype 4.1) operating systems. It 
doesn’t work in Panther (Mac OS X 10.3) installations
