How To Enable Screen Sharing Through Skype

Sometimes the best way to explain things to someone on the web is to share the screen and actually walk them through it step-by-step.

While there are many online and desktop sharing tools available, if you have Skype installed that should serve the purpose.

This guide will explain how to enable partial or full screen sharing via Skype.

1. Open Skype. Sign in with your credentials.

2. In the contacts list, click the name of the user with whom you will share your computer screen.

Note: You cannot share the screen with any random person. The other user with whom you are sharing the screen must have Skype installed on his computer and he must also be in your contact list.

3. Go to Call->Share your screen->Share full screen.

Note: If you only want to share a small portion of the screen, select “Share selection”. It gives you the option to adjust the screen size you want to share.

4. A dialog box appears telling you that screen sharing will also initiate an audio call. Click OK.

5. Your screen is now shared with the Skype audio call. You can use screen sharing for a variety of purposes, such as discussing any problem in your computer, showing project status to your clients, or collaboration purposes.

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 installation (Mac OS X 10.3).
