I’m not quite sure that I properly understand what your problem is. Are you not seeing pictures of your contact’s or of yourself? You can’t change pictures of your contacts. They may first appear when both you and your contacts are Online on Skype at the same time.

Two questions,

 

1  I have the same problem, i have a list with contacts but no pictures of my contacts in the list.

How do i add an picture to a contact in the contactlist.

Some do have pictures but i dont no how that happend.

2  Same with contacts i see on line, how do i add them to my contact list

 

i suspect that both are not possible, in that case skype seems to be a little outdated.

anyone an idea?

There is not very much you can do about this. It is entirely up to your contacts if they have their profile picture shown on Skype or not. Also, if some of your contacts are just recently added to your contact list, their profile picture may appear (or not) when you both are first time online on Skype at the same time.

I have a solution!

  1. On the top left, go to "Tools".
  2. In "Tools", go to "Options".
  3. Go to "General", and go to "General Settings".
  4. Uncheck the "Show profile pictures in Contact List".

I hope that this works!


Wrong. Your solution will prevent showing any profile pictures in the contact List. Just the opposite to what the OP wants.
