What Other Features Are Available Using Skype?

Skype, in addition to its popular calling services, has also incorporated several features into its service. Here are just samples of what Skype has to offer.

A new feature of Skype is called Skype Web. It allows Skype users to display their Skype online status on a Web page, email, blog, any other HTML enabled content or any other Internet-enabled application. To take advantage of this feature, you need to opt-in to show your online status to everyone. Go to Skype; select tools from the menu; and choose options.

Under the privacy settings, you will need to check the option to “Allow my status to be shown on the web”. Then, click on the link to get a Skype Button for your webpage. Visit

SkypeMe mode is another feature of Skype which allows everyone else on Skype to know that you are available and interested in talking or chatting. This includes people, who you do not know, or you have not authorized, but who can find you by searching the Skype directory.

Skype Me mode disables your privacy settings and allows anyone to contact you, whether you’ve authorized them or not. Your privacy settings are restored as soon as you leave Skype Me mode.
The Skype Web Toolbars is another great feature which allow you to combine Skype with Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox. It is a great tool to search for people or businesses, and call them with one click, using Skype.
