If you are new to Skype and want to ensure that your audio and video settings are configured correctly before making a call, then making a test call is a good idea. In this tutorial, we will show you how to make a free test call in Skype.
Firstly, you need to log in to your Skype account. Double-click the Skype icon or click on the Skype icon in the hidden icons tab. If you are not signed in yet, please sign in now.
Once you are signed in, click on the three dots “More” button and then click “Settings”. In the settings menu, look for “Calling or Audio and Video”. Click on “Make a free test call”.
A voice prompt will welcome you to the Skype Call Testing Service and ask you to record a message. Record a brief message and then wait for the playback.
If you can hear your own voice during the playback, then you have configured Skype correctly. If you cannot hear your own voice, then something might be wrong with your audio recording settings. Please check your microphone and microphone settings or visit Skype.com for more help.
That’s it! You have successfully made a test call in Skype. We hope you found this tutorial helpful. If you have any further questions, please leave a comment below.
