I figured out how to do this from these links:
- http://community.skype.com/t5/Modern-Windows-from-Windows/Can-t-share-screens-with-Skype-Windows-8/td-p/1877285
- https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12166/how-do-i-migrate-from-skype-for-windows-desktop-to-skype-for-modern-windows
The first link points out that you cannot share your screen as of yet with the version of Skype for Windows 8 and encourages you to use the "old" version from: here ...yet, even passing this hurdle however, I struggled to share my desktop from the "Change screen sharing settings" option that appears at the menu one finds when clicking on the "plus icon" as suggested here:
This option should take you to another screen where you affirm that you are to share your desktop. Then your desktop will NOT be seen. The cure is to go to the right menu with options for Search, Share, Start, Device, and Settings and then pick Start. You will end up at the start menu. From here, then go back to your desktop. That should do the trick.
