What are Add-ins and how do I use them in Skype?
The use of add-ons will allow you to share content, manage conversations, and get stuff done faster and easier, as you won’t have to switch between applications all the time – they will always be available to you. The Skype for Web application does not support add-ins at the moment.
- Choose the Add-in menu from the menu bar when you are in a chat:
- It is available for mobile devices and tablets in Skype.
- The desktop version of Skype has the ability to do this.
- To get the most out of the add-ins, you will need to choose the one you wish to use and follow the instructions provided with it.
- When you click Send, you will be able to share the message with your friends.
