Downloading Skype in MacBook Air

I have downloaded Skype for Mac and it is shown in the download files and also as a device. I can open it and use it but once I shut down the computer Skype disappears as if it has not been downloaded properly. Does anybody know what to do?

The "volume" icon resembling the following disappears when you shut down.

Don't routinely launch Skype from there. Its sole purpose is for you to install Skype on your Mac. Once you do that it's no longer needed. Drag it to the Trash to unmount it.


If you want Skype to launch every time you log in, add the Skype app to your Login Items.
