To ping an online account is to test the connection speed and quality between your computer and the computer on the other end. When you ping another user in Skype, the Skype server sends out a test message to the other user’s Skype account, and then records the response time and quality of the Internet connection between the two accounts. This is an effective way to ensure that another user’s Internet connection is consistent enough to send and receive calls and video chat on Skype. Warnings Writer Bio
