This wikiHow teaches you how to look up a contact's Skype username from their profile, using a computer.

Steps

1
Open Skype on your computer. The Skype icon looks like a white "S" in a blue circle. You can find it in your Applications folder on a Mac, or on your Start menu on Windows.
- If you're not automatically signed in to Skype, enter your email, phone or Skype ID, and your password to log in.
2
Click the CONTACTS tab. This button is located below the search bar in the upper-left corner of your window. It will open a list of all your contacts.
- On some versions of Skype, you won't see this button here. In this case, look for a figurehead icon next to your profile picture on the top-left. It will open your contacts list in a new pop-up window.
