Microsoft has just announced that Skype is now available for Outlook.com. The new feature will allow you to chat with friends and all your Skype contacts directly from your inbox, without needing the Skype app itself.
“With Skype for Outlook.com, you can easily connect with your Skype friends right from your Outlook.com inbox, so you can go from chat to email or a video call with just one click. If you haven’t had a chance to check it out, it’s super easy to get started,” Microsoft says.
To have conversations from Outlook.com, a plugin is required, which works on Windows or Mac OS X.
Outlook.com seems to be a big bet for Microsoft in the email market and according to the same company, it is much better than Google and Yahoo services.
If you want to download and install the plugin to try out the new service, you can see how to do it here:
