A few days ago, a reader of this humble blog asked if I knew a way to embed “Skype Presence&# in a SharePoint Web Part. A few minutes on the Skype site turned up some Skype web-widgets—– basically HTML code one can embed on a blog or web page — that gave me what I needed: HTML that would display Skype “presence&# by Skype name (what I call a SkypeID). My first attempted yielded the result above — a webpart with my Skype status and name.

Skype ([link]. The Good: So far, as we’ve tried out Skype, video quality has been higher and more consistent than we had with Hangouts, and audio has (mostly) been more reliable. The Bad: Skype has had some audio issues for us—tinniness, echoing voices, some dropped audio on a couple calls. Finally, since you can only call people who are already in your contacts list, Skype isn’t as easy as Hangouts for meeting with people outside Idealware.

It does mean that everyone who is involved in a webinar needs to install Skype – but that seems to be a minor issue, to my mind. But, you can’t use the Skype edition on Linux yet, either.
