Skype Conference Calls

How do I make a conference call?

With Skype, you and 24 other people can take part in a conference call.

There are a couple of ways to start a conference call:
On the Contacts tab click > Create Conference or click from the menu select Call > Start Conference Call. Both these options will open a Conference Call window.
To add people, click on a contact's name in Choose contacts box and then click on the Add button below. The contact is now added to Conference participants window.
You can add both Skype contacts and contacts using a landline and mobile to a conference call in the same way.
Once you have selected the participants, simply click the Start button.
You'll be shown a conference tab with the names of all participants. Participants will be added to the conference call once they answer your call.

If you are already in a call and would like to add an additional participant to the call, simply right click on a contact in your contact list and choose Invite to Conference. Or from the conference tab, click Add Callers and add more participants.

How do I start a conference call?

There are several ways to start a conference call.  If you've already saved a group in your Contacts, chose it from your Contact list and click the green Call button.

If you want to start a conference call with a new group, create the group first and then follow the instructions above.

If you are already in the middle of a call with someone, you can add others by clicking the Add people button in the top right of Skype and choosing who you want to add to the call.
