Sort and manage Skype contacts

With Skype you can sort and manage your contacts in various ways in the form of lists. We'll show you how to do it best.

Sort Skype contacts with lists

• A special list has always been shown from the beginning: the "favorites". It is best to insert the contacts with whom you chat or make calls particularly often. You can do this easily by right-clicking on the relevant contact and selecting "Add to favorites". As you can see in the screenshot, the favorites list is always at the top by default and is therefore easily accessible.
• Under the favorites you will find a button that is set to "All" when Skype is started for the first time. In this setting, all your contacts are sorted according to their online status. Since this view is very confusing, you can choose between different modes.
• Simply click on the "All" item. Since you can also link Skype with Facebook, there are separate lists for "Skype", "Facebook" and "Online". Below are your own custom lists. You can read how to create one in the next paragraph.

Create your own contact lists in Skype

You can create a new list yourself with just a few clicks:

• You will find the "Contacts" item above your favorites. Right click on it and choose "Create New List".
• Then enter a name and confirm with [Enter].
• Now right-click on a contact and select "Add to list"> "Your list name" to fill the list.
