Hi, Sarah. Below, I'm going to give a detailed account of where I went, and what happened when I started a new account on Skype.

I went to skype.com. When I went there, because I had been there before, it signed me into skype with my skype name automatically, without me having to enter any details. I then clicked Sign Out. I was then signed out. I clicked Set Up A New Account. When I clicked that link, I was signed in to skype again automatically. I clicked Sign Out again, and then clicked Set Up A New Account again. This time, instead of signing me into Skype automatically, it gave me the Set Up A New Account Screen which has the places for a new skype name, as well as a password field, and a password confirmation field. It also has a field with a CAPTCHA which can be solved visually, or with an audio challenge.

I think it works this way because there are cookies on the computer which keep a record of a Skype login name and password. Once I signed out for that second time, I think the record of my currently logged in Skype account were destroyed. By this, I mean that they were not viewed by my computer or by the website as a current account for me to log into. This does not mean that I cannot log into these accounts in the future. They just are not viewed as an account which the computer is meant to log into automatically.

I hope something in this detailed account may give you the answers you seek.

Hi, Sarah. Sorry, I made the assumption that you were doing this on the web. The way I made a new account is on the web. I had to sign in with my old account, then sign out. Once I did that, I was shown the fields for a new Skype name, the two password fields, and the captcha field.

You may need to sign in first with your old skype name, then sign out to force Skype to allow you to create the new account. As long as you have your old Skype name populating one of the fields, you won't be able to create a new account.

Nope. I see

2 items Sign in with Skype or Microsoft account
Then my skype name, then collapsed pop up button, then a password field a grayed out sign in button then create an account, then problems signing in. Finally, a sign in with facebook. If I click the pop up button I just see the names I have. Now what? I'm actually very stumped here.

Try clicking "Sign In with a different account. There should be a place there to enter a new email address and password, followed by a password confirmation field. They will also ask you to solve a captcha (one of those funny sideways pictures. They will also give you an audio challenge.

Actually it doesn't. I see create a new account, but I don't see a place to enter a skype name.I see the following.



Create account

Then the place where you enter your phone number. Then under that

Use your email instead
Choosing Next means that you agree to the Privacy Statementand Microsoft Services Agreement.

Then sign in with a different account. No ware do I see "don't have a skype name. Using Version 7.33 (206)

Thanks.

Hi, Sarah. It seems counterintuitive, but you must click sign in to create a new account. Once you click sign in, you will see either a place to enter your skype or microsoft account info, but below that, you will see a link which says Create A New Account. This is the link you should click on. But it won't appear until you click Sign In.

I hope this helps you, Sarah.

Hello to all. I'm trying to create a new account with skype for personal and possibly professional reasons. I signed out of my old account but don't see a don't have a skype name link anywhere as the instructions say. I even tried doing this on the website and no joy. For those that need to know what I'm talking about here is a link to a screenshot of the account creation window. Using the latest skype for mac, but I'm reading on the forums that people on windows are having the same trouble. What can I do from here?

https://www.dropbox.com/s/zhi26xxa6ozr14v/Screenshot%202016-08-24%2019.39.08.png?dl=1

I'm also asking on twitter so we'll see who gets to me first with an answer.

Thanks.
