Before you start off with Skype Connect, you need to set up Skype Manager. Just enter a Skype Name and password and register your company details online. To do this, visit the Skype website.

Now, just follow the instructions provided on-screen to select the type of Skype account you want to use. You can either go for your personal Skype account or create a new one for Skype Manager. Once you have created your account and registered, you will automatically get signed in to Skype Manager.

The first thing you need to do to get started with Skype Connect is create at least one SIP profile in Skype Manager.

SIP Profile for Outgoing Calls: To enable SIP Profile for outgoing calls you must add Skype Credit to the SIP Profile from your Skype Manager.
