If you need to make an international call, then use Skype credit instead of wracking up a huge phone bill on your mobile or landline. For example, an international call to India costs only 1.5 cents/minute using Skype credit. Conversely, AT&T’s pay-per-use rate to India is $4/minute. If you frequently make calls to India (or any other country), you can instead choose one of Skype’s monthly subscriptions which begins with a free one-month trial.

Need to know how to take a screenshot on a PC or Mac during video calls? Skype’s interface remains the same for both PC and Mac, so you can follow the same instructions for either. While in call, simply click the snapshot button in the lower left of the call screen. After taking the picture, Skype will save it to your local desktop. However, this feature is not available in Skype for Web.
