Subject: [vip_students] Skype: Creating and adding a new group!
In the past I used to sometimes have what Skype once called
conference calls. This basically was a group of people which I picked out
and then pulled into a group/conference call. It was a nice way for people
to get in touch with other people they may not have known before or maybe
just a group of friends talking together. Here I am going to write about
creating "groups" which is the new name for a conference call.
I am using Skype 4.x here for anyone who is interested.
1. Open up Skype from the icon on the desktop.
2. When Skype opens up, press keys "control + 1" to bring into
view the contacts list.
3. Press keys, "alt + C" to open up the contacts menu and down
arrow once to "new group".
4. Now as a starting point within Skype, using the tab key
start tabbing across from the contacts list till you come to the link that
says, "Add contacts".
Note: If you tab about seven times from the contacts list you will
be on the link we require.
5. When on "add contacts", press the spacebar once. This will
bring up your list of existing contacts which will include both people who
are on-line or off-line. Also if you press tab key once you will be on a
select button.
6. Now to add people to the group, just arrow down through
your list of contacts and each time you come to a person you want to add
into your new group, just tab once to the "select button" and press the
spacebar.
Note: each time you press the spacebar on the select button, your
focus will be returned to the contacts list where you can now arrow down to
another potential new member for your groups contact.
7. Once you are happy that you have added all the people you
want into your group, from the list of names, tab over about four times and
you will be in a new list which contains all the members you have selected
for your group. Here you can arrow up or down through them to see just who
you have and if you should wish to remove anyone then arrow to that person's
name and by tabbing once you will be on a "remove button". Press the
spacebar to remove the person.
8. Now that you have reviewed your list for the group and are
satisfied all is as you would like it, press the tab key till you come to
the "Add button" and press the spacebar.
9. Once you have pressed the spacebar on the add button, you
will be returned to the main Skype screen. Here I want you to press the keys
"control + 1" to bring up the focus of the main contacts list as this I use
as our main starting point.
10 Now tab about six times to reach the link, "add group to
contacts" and press spacebar. Once you do this, you may hear jaws say out
the names of people you have added into it, just ignore this and instead,
type in a user friendly name for your group, you can call it anything you
like.
After you have typed in the name, press enter and your new group
will be created and added into the contacts list.
