STEP 4Skyping for the first time
![Page 11: Getting started with skype](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061201/546a44caaf7959973b8b4ef3/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Look under contacts and you should see Sound Test Service. That is an automated testing service that helps you make sure your microphone and speakers (internal or external) or headset are working.• Click Skype Sound Test Service once. You’ll see a green phone icon (to call
out) and a white balloon in a blue circle (to instant message/chat). Make sure your microphone is plugged in, and then press the green phone button.
• A recording will prompt you to say a word or two. Your message then will be played back to you. If you hear your voice played back, everything is working.

right of the box. This will send your text to your contact.
