When you have all the contacts you need, it’s time to make that first Skype call. On Android, you only need to tap on the person icon at the bottom right.

You can also use the search option and when you find their profile, click on the Add Contact option. If you think you’re missing a contact, you can add one by clicking on the New contact option. If you’re using Skype on your desktop, to sync your contacts there, you’ll need to: Don’t forget to toggle on the Sync your contacts option. To do that, tap on your profile picture at the top tap on Settings, followed by Contacts. It’s always more convenient to give the app access to them, but if you didn’t, you could still set that up by going to your contacts settings. When you first set up Skype, it’s going to ask you for access to your contacts. You can also get it on Mac and Windows as well.

You will also be limited to 50 users per call and 10 hours of group video calls a day. But you can easily generate a new link and start a new call immediately after you get disconnected. After four hours, the call will automatically be disconnected.

However, according to Skype’s fair usage policy, you can only have a group video call that lasts for four hours at a time. There is no limit to the number of links you can generate. Finally, you can open a new chat (H), share what’s on your screen (I), use a reaction emoji (J), and view additional options (K). Meet Now also lets you mute/unmute your microphone (E), turn on/off your video (F), and end the call (G). Your recorded calls will be stored up to 30 days for free, according to Skype. You can also see who is in the current meeting (B), share the link to the meeting any time (C), and record the current meeting (D). On a Meet Now call, you can open recent chats by clicking the three-line icon in the top-left corner of the window (this is the button next to the “A” in the image above).
