    I'm struggling to set up Skype on my PS Vita.

    I had a search through Playstation Store but couldn't find the app in the Social section, where I thought it would be. A Google search suggested to input a direct link which I did but on the Vita, it didn't bring up a download button so stuck at this juncture.

    Any tips on how to download it or alternatively, other ways to download Skype onto the Vita.

    Thanks

    Hi. I have never tried to install skype on my playstation.
    Here are a couple of video which may help.

    Thanks Dougie.

    I'd seen the second video and the fact it seems a British user suggests the concern raised, that it might be a region sensitive issue, could be dispelled. Sent a few tweets to Sony/Skype, see what that brings.

    I'm wondering if it is because it shows under social apps here in the US.

    Got it sorted. Logged into Playstation Store online and was able to download the app to the Download List and transfer to my Vita. Happy days. Thanks for the tips as always :)
