How much Internet speed does Skype need?

 The bandwidth required by Skype depends on the type of calls you want to make. The table below provides the minimum download and upload speeds required, as well as the recommended speeds for best performance.

If you are signed in to Skype but not making any calls, Skype will use on average 0-4kbps. When you make a call, Skype will use on average between 24-128kbps. You can find out how much bandwidth a video call is using.
To find out if your internet connection is fast enough to make a Skype call:
  1. In the Contact list, select the contact you wish to call.
  2. In the call window, click the Check settings button.
  3. In the Connection tab, click Test Now.
  4. Skype will test the internet connection between you and your contact and display the results.
Audio calls should be possible with most internet connections. Video calls use a lot more bandwidth, so if you are having issues with the quality of your video calls, we recommend:
  • Closing other applications that use the internet, especially those playing music or video.
  • Cancelling any file transfers in progress.
If this does not resolve your problem, you may need to increase your bandwidth. Contact your Internet Service Provider if you need more information regarding your download and upload speeds.
