I am sure that this topic has came up in thread that aren't titled spisifically for this...

But I am having a few issues with skype on my mac book air...
I am getting a lot of it but I am not finding off how to make group calls

I am also a bit sluggish with the app and believe I have heard that there are scrips for it. are they worth it and how do they help out/

What are a few quick tips you have for me with using skype much easier on my mac/


Thanks.

Its easy to add people to calls once you've got one started, you can either do it by finding their name in your contact list and vo shift "M"ing on it,and then scrolling down to add to call, or you can do it in the calls window itself.
Skype for mac really shouldn't need scripts, in my opinion, its extremely easy to use. If you don't use VO J in this app to move between sections, start now, VO J is your friend in most apps with multiple sections, like iTunes, finder, Skype, preferences, mail,messages.... I could go on. Point is, use VO J when possible.

scripts for the mac? skuype where!!, if this is true someone point me in the right direction. I know Vo has some ability to be scripte via the apple script but I had no idea Vo had skype scripts.

Oh I am not sure about the scrips, I thought I heard that but I could very well be wrong. Don't take my words as gossible on that one.

I did see a add contact but it was asking me to put in a phone num ber for some reason. Oh who knows. i know most of my issues are my fault and not knowing what to do. I am getting it pritty quickly though. Thanks for the information you have givign me so far. I will try it all.

Yeah, I've had a good amount of luck with skype on the mac. Another key command that is your friend is VO+Shift+M. Try that whenever you're trying to figure out your options when you're on a given item. So if you're on your contact name, that command will open your options to call, instant message, join call, etc.
