Skype Accounts
There are two types of Skype accounts:
- Skype accounts with a username. This username is what we call a Skype ID.
- Skype accounts with an email address attached to a Microsoft account. This is the account you use for Microsoft Products (Windows, Xbox etc.). This means that your account ID is your Live ID, e.g. italki_320941.
We recommend that you use a Skype account with a Skype ID because an email address can be linked to multiple accounts, while Skype IDs are unique.

I work on a MacBook Pro and access the italki site through Firefox. In my edit settings I wanted to enter my skype information but along side the "skype" label there is a box that says "downloaded". I don't remember downloading my skype info. Where do I go to do that?
