Skype etc.

Hi Howard

I have kidded, Hammond Barn Crew about doing this over the years but never done it. I'd really like to get a connection in my shop so could talk and see stuff from there.

Don't know how to do a group Skpe but I'll check into it. I have a Skpe account on G-mail already use it to talk with grand children will find the settings.

Maybe some others could check as well.


Cheers Phil

Phil..
Just get on Skype and punch in known e-mail addresses of your friends and a little box pops up IF they have Skype too..then it asks "Do you want to contact" or some such invitation and you hit "Yes" and it will contact said person and a little message will pop on on his machine that you want to be his Skype buddy and if he likes you..he will say "Yes" and you are away to the races ..fill in your Skype user name and your buddy's name will pop up on your machine..Call him up..hit video call and you can see him ..and FREE..I call my kids in INDY all the time and have talked to My daughter in Urrup when she travels..Great stuff.

The easiest way is simply add your skype 'handle' to your personal MLU profile. From there it's just a matter of clicking on the skype icon of other members that you wish to add to your contact list. Very simple, really!

No problems making contact with other members Howard. Thanks for the contact earlier.

It is handy and I use it to Skype Ganmain Tony, Richard Farrant and Howard Holgate. Last night I also set it up on my Iphone but have to investigate if it effects my Optus mobile bill. Does anyone know?
