Can an iPad and an iPhone be used at the same time during a Skype call?

I had a virtual drum lesson yesterday, during which I used Skype for the first time.

My iPhone was clamped onto a stand directly in front of me and my drum set, but it had to be moved back far enough so that my teacher could see me from my thighs to the top of my head. Because my iPhone was farther away from me as usual, I had a difficult time seeing my teacher on the screen.

On my drum set, I have, along with my iPhone, an iPad clamped onto a stand that is closer to me.

Is it possible to simultaneously use both an iPhone and an iPad for a Skype call? The iPhone in front of me would be used for my teacher to see me, and the iPad closer to me would be used for me to see my teacher.

If so, how would I go about setting that up?

Thanks.

You'll need to create 2 accounts and login to them separately on your iPad and iPhone. Then you would use a group video call and join on both devices along with your teacher.

Brilliant!

Is it as simple as:

1) Using my existing Outlook account to log into Skype on one device (eg. my iPhone); and
2) Creating a secondary Outlook account and logging into Skype with the secondary Outlook account on the other device (eg. my iPad)?

Thanks.

Yup, I believe that's all needed since a second Outlook account would be your second user.

Since the Outlook account is free, no harm in trying it out.
