How do I add or change my primary email address in my Skype profile?

You need to have a primary email address in your profile, because we use it to contact you with important information about your Skype account.

As well as your primary email address, you can add multiple ‘profile’ email addresses to help your friends and contacts find you on Skype. This is useful if, for example, your colleagues only know your work email address but you use your personal one as your primary email address.

How do I add an email address to my profile?

To add another email address to your Skype profile:

Sign in to your account.
Click your profile picture, or select Edit Profile in the Account details section at the bottom of the page.
Scroll down to the Contact details section and click Add email address.
In the box that appears, type your new email address and click the green Save button at the bottom of the page.

The email address is added to your profile. No one can see your email addresses - they are only visible to you when you sign in to your account.

You can add up to three more email addresses - just follow the steps above.

How do I edit or remove an email address from my profile?

You can edit an email address or remove it from your profile if you no longer use it. To edit or remove a profile email address:

Sign in to your account.

Scroll down to the Contact details section and click the Edit button on the right.
