Register
Once installed, skyecandy will launch in Skype where you can register. Registration is a quick and easy two step process. To be anonymous while speed dating skyecandy recommends you don't include any personal information within your Skype visible profile.

Check-in to speed date
Once registered, select your matching details, choose your number of speed dates anc click Check-in.
5
While you wait
Check that your microphone is on, webcam is set up and headphones is ready. And remember, skyecandy encourages a friendly environment. So be NICE! Because every speed date partner gets to rate your friendliness.

Speed date
Each speed date lasts 5 minutes and you'll never be matched to the same skyecandy membership more than once.
7
Voting Interval
After each speed date follows a one little minute interval to vote YES or NO to your date. It takes a YES from both parties to make a date successful. And if you choose NO, well that's the end of that. There is no guilt in voting a genuine NO. Once you've rated your date's friendliness, you can also make personal Reminder Notes about your date.

Review and Confirm
When all your dates are complete, you get to REVIEW and CONFIRM. You can change a YES to a NO and vice versa, finish rating a date and add to your Reminder Notes. Another cool skyecandy feature is to send a little surprise P.S. Note to someone you voted YES to.

Notes from your successful dates, jog your memory with your Reminder Notes and best of all, continue free communication by simply adding them to your Skype contacts.
