How to change your Skype name on a mobile device

You can’t change your Skype username after the initial sign-up process, but you can change your display name at any time, unless you have a meeting in progress. Set automatically when you sign out or aren't active for an extended period of time.Every Skype user has two usernames: a display name and a username. You're not signed into Skype on any device. To your contacts, the last time your status was set to active or do not disturb is shown under your chat header as Last seen - days, hours, or minutes ago. You can set your status to invisible anytime you want. Your presence status is hidden so that you appear to be offline but calls and messages aren't blocked. To your contacts, the last time your status was set to active or do not disturb is shown under your chat header as Last seen - days, hours, or minutes ago.

You can set your status to do not disturb anytime you want. If you want to receive in-app chat or call notifications while your status is set to do not disturb, you can manage your notifications on mobile or desktop. Contacts can still call and send messages, but you won't be alerted with sound. You can also set your status to appear away anytime you want.

Set automatically when you were last active an hour ago. You've been inactive for an hour or more. Set automatically when you were last active between 3 minutes, and 1 hour ago. You'll remain active on your desktop when Skype is running in the background and you're using your keyboard or mouse, and on your mobile device when Skype is running in the foreground. Set automatically when you first sign in.
