    Now if you’re using the same Skype account to get connected with your friends, then it’s ok. But if you’re planning to get a new job, then it is a good idea to change Skype username and display name.

    Due to this reason lots of users looking for a step by step instructions on how to change Skype username and the display name. To help those users we decided to write this post in which you read about all the possible details.

    Difference Between Skype Username and Display Name

    Skype Username or Name – It is the ID set by users accompanied by the email id and the phone number at the time of creating a Skype account. With the help of Skype username, the users can log into the account.

    Previously there was an option available to set the unique username, but after the migration of the Skype to Microsoft, the option for the same is removed. Now you can create a Skype account with the help of an email id and password.

    Skype Display Name – It is the full name available on the user profile. The name will appear to all the friends that exist on your Skype friend list.

    In short, the Skype username is just an identity card with your display name on it.

    How to Change Skype Display Name

    Changing a Skype display name is possible, and users can do so just by logging into Skype online. Here is how to do that:

    skype display name

    1. Visit this webpage (https://secure.skype.com/portal/profile)

    2. Log into your Skype account using the credentials.

    3. Here in the Profile screen, you need to click on the ‘Edit Profile‘ button.
