Skype has great information in their help files which include step-step user guides. Below is a link for people who are new to Skype:

http://www.skype.com/intl/en/support/user-guides/

1. If you have the latest version of Skype ( 5.2.60.113) you can check this by going to Help(on the right hand side of the menu bar ) (click on it after you sign in to Skype) You will see a window with 4 tabs, Skype Home, Profile, Facebook, and Give Feedback (to the right of where your contacts are shown) If you do not see this after signing in to Skype, you need to update to the latest version

2. Then go to About Skype. If you don't have the latest version, under Help>Check for updates. Click on it and upgrade to the latest version.

3. To update your profile with your information, you need to click on the Profile Tab. Then select edit. Then click on the blue links to add numbers, email addresses etc.

On Skype my contact cannot hear me but I can hear & see them

Open skype and click on the 'call' menu at the top of the page. Click on audio settings on the drop down, where you can configure pretty much everything. Make sure you have the correct mic selected and the volume turned up. You should then be able to test your settings by calling the echo/sound test service.

Everything works except the person I call cannot hear me. I am using skype. The echo check on skype works, I have tried two other cameras and I have the same problem. No matter how I change the settings...

The Camera and Audio setups are unrelated in both Windows and Skype. Please check your Windows Audio devices volume settings and specifically the Microphone settings: it appears to be disabled or the volume level set much too low. The windows settings overrides the settings in Skype (or in other words, Skype volume settings are a subset of the Windows volume settings). Check that Skype audio is setup properly after starting Skype: Tools -> Options -> Audio Settings -> select your required devices and volume levels. During this ajustment process, make free calls to Skype 'Echo / Sound Test Services".
Hope it helps! Let me know how you go!

Skype sound test

This means you need to tweak the volume levels a little and maybe also change the recording levels.

Echo is a common thin with VOIP communications and it may not go away fully but tweaking your levels shoul minimise it.

Also do not use VOIP type communications on low speed connections
