    Resize the Skype tile

    1. Scroll to find the Skype tile.
    2. You can resize it by right-clicking the tile (or tapping and holding, then releasing).
    3. Select Resize and choose the size you want for your Skype tile.

    To move the Skype tile, simply click and drag (or tap and drag) it to the location you want.
