Skype Support Network Now Available on Facebook

A few weeks ago, we rolled out our beta of the Skype Support Network, an online community where customers can learn about Skype from experts, find answers, and share information through topic-specific discussion forums. The community is available through Skype.com, and starting today is also now available from Skype's Facebook account page.


We think there is a big appetite for information about Skype, and Skype Support Network was created in direct response to that. Having this information available within our Support Network and extended to various social media channels, such as Facebook, is part of our efforts to engage customers and help them access information they need. So, feel free to ask us a question or search our community for answers right from within Facebook or visit us at the Skype Support Network.

Skype adds 'Facebook-to-Facebook' calls

Skype has introduced improved Facebook connectivity with its latest update.
The communications firm announced that its 5.4 Beta for Mac and 5.7 Beta for Windows will enable users to make "Facebook-to-Facebook" calls from within the platform.
Users must integrate their Facebook contacts with their Skype accounts to make use of this feature. They will be able to view friends' statuses and instant message them via the Skype platform.
The beta updates also introduce video rendering for Mac owners and group sharing for Windows users with a Premium subscription. Screen-sharing during live video streams will also be supported.
"This new development in the Skype-Facebook partnership is the latest example of how Skype is removing communication barriers and making it easier to connect with friends, family and business colleagues," read a statement from Skype.
"Our approach to social is about personal connections with people. We are on a mission to connect over one billion people and our continued partnership with Facebook brings us one step closer to this goal."
Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg announced in July that Skype will be powering its upcoming video-chat feature.
