Unfortunately, a mishap during development led Microsoft to temporarily remove integration from Outlook.com to enhance other features. However, the good news for users is that Skype is back integrated into Outlook.com beta.

Regular Outlook.com users were unaffected, but the absence of Skype left many beta testers disappointed. Consequently, Skype was one of the most requested features on the Outlook Feedback page. It seems Microsoft has listened to its users, with a better-completed interface and a focus on improving application quality as Skype returns to Outlook.com beta.

The Skype icon resides in the top right corner of the webpage, facilitating easy continuation of Skype conversations. Regrettably, due to this being the initial phase of messaging app integration, many anticipated features are still missing. Voice and video calls are no longer available, and users can only chat with contacts within Skype. Additionally, the user status change feature is currently unavailable. The sole improvement with Skype is that users can engage in multiple chats simultaneously.
