Call Microsoft Outlook contacts in Skype - is that possible?

This practical tip shows you how to call your Microsoft Outlook contacts in Skype.

Call Microsoft Outlook contacts in Skype

With "Skype" you can also show the contacts from the Outlook address book and then call:

1. Start "Skype" and log in to your Skype account.
2. After successful login, click on "Show Outlook contacts" in the menu bar under "Contacts" (see picture). Your Microsoft Outlook contacts will also appear in your Skype contacts list. Note that you need either a subscription or Skype Credit to call your Outlook contacts on Skype.
3. If you only want your Microsoft Outlook contacts to be displayed, you can click the drop-down arrow to the right of "All" above your Skype contact list and select the "Microsoft Office Outlook" option.
4. Note: Your Outlook contacts are only displayed on the PC on which your Outlook address book is saved. You can only view them from another PC using your Skype account if you import your contacts directly into your Skype contact list.
