Click Finish. This will save your settings, and close the Voice Doctor window. You can now start using MorphVOX to change your voice.

Using MorphVOX in Skype

1
Open Skype on your computer. The Skype icon looks like a white "S" in a blue circle icon. You can find it in your Applications folder on a Mac, or on your Start menu on Windows.
- If you're not automatically logged in, click the Sign in button to sign in with your Skype Name, email or phone, and your password.

Open Skype's audio settings. This window will allow you to change Skype's audio input from your default microphone to MorphVOX.
- If you're using Mac, click the three dots icon next to your profile picture in the upper-left corner, and select Audio & Video Settings.
- On Windows, click the Tools tab at the top of the Skype window, select Options, and click Audio settings under General on the left menu.
3
Click the Microphone menu. This option should be at the top of your audio settings. It will open a drop-down menu, and allow you to select your audio input.
4
Select MorphVOX Audio as your microphone. When this option is selected, your microphone input will be filtered through your selected MorphVOX filter before it reaches Skype.
- If you don't see this option on the Microphone menu, look for Microphone (Screaming Bee Audio).
5
Click the Save button. This will save your new audio settings. You can now make an audio or video call on Skype.
- If you're using Mac, you won't see a Save button. In this case, you can just close the Audio & Video Settings window.
