Me and my buddies host a prerecorded podcast using skype. In total there are 4 of us. Can we all use skype while host a blogtalk show? I understand that I have to pay a monthly fee to use one, but does that mean all the hosts can use a headset then? Thanks for any answers you can give me.

Hi there, Your cohosts can use Skype to call in. Have them go to www.skype.com to download and install it. |

While using skype how can I get the keypad to stay up so that I can punch in numbers after I dial a number? |

Here a few things you will need to know on how to get started with Skype. 1. Visit www.skype.com and click on the Get Skype Now icon on their home page to start the installation process for Skype, once you have downloaded the program click on the install manager to install the program. Skype will then install on your computer, this will take about 15 minutes to complete. 2. Once you have installed Skype to your computer you will then be prompted to create a user account for Skype, click on the create new account link and complete the form. 3. Once you have completed your sign up you will then need to launch Skype by clicking on the Skype icon on your desktop. Log into Skype using your username and password and the program will open. 4. When you are ready to launch your show you will need to click on your Switchboard link in your account, once the switchboard is open you will see the Skype icon where your host number is, click on the Skype icon you will be prompted to choose which program you want to open just select Skype; it should already be highlighted, click on OK and your host dial in number will be called automatically. Once you are connected to your host dial in number you will be prompted to enter your pin number, this is not done automatically and will need to be entered manually. 5. Keep in mind that when you are ready to host your show you will need to just click on the Skype icon on your switchboard and the host dial in number will be called automatically, you do not need to enter in the host dial in number manually, however you will need to manually enter in your host pin number. 6. To enter your pin number you will need to click on the arrow button on the Skype interface to activate your Dial Pad, once you have the Dial Pad open please enter in your pin number and press the number 2 button to start your show, or the number 1 button for more information on hosting. 7. Click on the drop-down arrow ; you will get a drop down and you will select Dial Pad: key in your host pin number and press 2 to start your show. To hang up your show you will click on the red End Call button on your Skype interface. These are our FAQs for Skype...
