All a Skype contact of yours has to do in order to find your Skype ID for you is: If you’re not signed in to Skype on any platform, you can simply ask any of your Skype contacts to check what your Skype ID is. The following are the two methods you can use to find your Skype ID if you are not already logged in to Skype: Method 1: Ask a friend If you are not already logged in to Skype, however, fear not – you can still find your Skype ID, you’re just going have to jump through a couple of extra hoops to do so.

Your Skype name is what is commonly referred to as a “Skype ID”. Your Skype name is the username you signed up for Skype when you first created your Skype account. Skype users can sign in to their Skype accounts using their Skype names, the email addresses associated with their Skype accounts or the phone numbers associated with their Skype accounts (and, obviously their Skype accounts’ passwords).
