Skype on Outlook.com

Microsoft is now going to launch the Skype support  on its email service - Outlook.com. Users can make audio as well as video calling on Outlook.com. This new feature newly steps in to United Kingdom first, with Germany and the United States following in the next weeks, and the rest of the world this Summer.

Users can make audio and video chat by clicking on the profile photo of any contacts whom you want to talk. You can compose a new message and chat also to the selected recipient.

You need to download and install a plugin hat integrates Skype in to the browser. This plugin will make available for Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer. After the installation of plugin user will be asked to link their existing account of Skype to Outlook.com. All your Skype contacts automatically available on  to Outlook.com.

I think it is a good step taken by Microsoft to available the audio and video calling feature on Outlook.com, video calling is more convenient than to write email messages.
