Hey what’s up guys, this is Marques Brownlee from MKB HD and I’m back with another software video, this is a tutorial about how to download the latest version of Skype 4.1 beta.
Now you may or may not know that I do have a Skype I.D. and do often take calls and most of the time chats from my subscribers who have quick little questions to ask. This is actually a new idea because I was considering going live over the summer. Doing a few USTREAMS or blog TV’s depending on who tells me to what to do more on Twitter. I was considering doing a few blog TV’s taking live Skype calls and really getting my name out there into YouTube, onto Twitter, etc.
I’m going to show you guys, everyone who is watching this now, how to download the latest version of Skype 4.1 beta for Windows. Basically, all going to have to do is visit this link up here, Skpe.com and all these, will be in the description. You can just Ctrl, click it and open in a new tab and it says you can test drive the latest version for Windows and I will go ahead and hit that Download Now button and it’ll go through the installation process quickly.
First of all, this will work weather or your not you are already running a version of Skype or you don’t have it yet. So go ahead and hit the Run button, if you’re using Firefox hit the Open button and we’re going to hit the run button again because we do trust this retailer. So now we are going to exit out of our web browser because we really don’t need it anymore.
We are actually going to the installation process right here. Hit the I agree- install button. I’m just going to tell you something about Skype. If you don’t already know, it’s a free PC to PC calling client if you will. If you download it, you can obviously, if you have a web cam and a microphone, you can basically do face to face chats, you can do calling, if you actually pay for a Skype plan, you can call landlines and cell phones as well. Its fairly good rates, you pretty much get to call anywhere you want in the world and its pretty cool.
I’m going to wait for the Skype 4.1 beta to install. Right now, I’m currently running Skype 4.0 beta so this is simply updating my version of Skype. You’ll keep all your contacts and all that kind of stuff etc.
I’m going to pause this video and come back once Skype is done installing. Be right back.
All right guys, this is what I looks like when you finished installing the latest version of Skype. It’ll actually open up the Skype welcome screen and sign you in if you are already there. So obviously I haven’t signed in a little bit so there’s people trying to contact me. But basically it says welcome to Skype take a minute to set up your microphone, add your contacts and all that. But I actually still – I can exit out of this because I have all of my contacts and they are all in Skype now, I don’t need to actually show you guys their names. That’s how you do it.
You have the latest version of Skype already downloaded and installed. No need to do any further steps. You can now go on and use it. Use the new features; I heard there is some new screen sharing features involved. I will definitely do a full over view video if you guys like of the newest version Skype.
Over all, that is it. Thanks for watching this video and I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. Thanks for watching guys, peace.
