Skype is a video conferencing app with a wide range of personalization options. The app is a great way to stay in touch with friends and family around the world. In this article, we will discuss what your Skype username is and whether you can change it.
How do I change my Skype username?
Your Skype username is generated when you first create your Skype account. This username is linked to the ID you use to create your account. Your Skype ID is an alphanumeric string that is automatically generated from your first and last name. You will be given the option to select a generated ID. If the ID is available, it will be assigned to you.
Your Skype ID is the same as your username, Skype name, Skype handle, etc. These are all synonyms for the same thing. However, your Skype name is not the same as your display name.
Your Skype display name is what users see when they look you up in the app; while your Skype Name can be used to easily find your account. The display name is what is primarily displayed on your account. This is usually your legal name and is filled in during the account setup process.
