Frequently Asked Questions

  • 1. What is App for Skype™?

    App for Skype™ is the easiest way to open and use Skype web from your desktop machine (PC, MAC or Linux). Clicking on the toolbar button, renders Skype web UI in a standalone window. Moreover, the window is re-sizable to your desired choice. Note, to start using this App, you need to have a skype account. Simply click on the toolbar button to open Skype in a simple popup window. Once the UI is closed all background activities are halted. Please note that, this addon does not have any settings or options to adjust.

  • 2. Why App for Skype™ is a lite Addon?

    App for Skype™ is designed to operate similar to Google Chrome Apps. In other words, it opens in a simple and stand-alone popup window (as opposed to the toolbar-popup or sidebar), and once closed, completely clears-off and will not have any further background activities. Having this behavior, it is considered a very lite Addon and does not add any additional burden to your browser.

  • 3. How can I download the source code for App for Skype™ Web?

    To download the source code for this extension from Chrome Web Store, it is recommended to use Extension Source Downloader. With this addon, you can download the source code as a ZIP or CRX format to your machine. If you want to download the source code from the Firefox addons store, please open the firefox download link (if available) in the Firefox browser and then right-click on the - Add to Firefox - button and select - Save Link As... - item. Choose the destination folder on your machine and then save the file in XPI format. You can then rename the XPI format to a RAR or ZIP file. Some extensions may have a GitHub repo address, which you can use to download the source code as well. But, it may not be the latest version of the addon. Therefore, downloading the source code from the official web stores is the best option as it always gives you the latest version of the addon.

  • 4. Can I make calls with this app?

    Yes, but you need to install a separate plug-in to make the call. Simply click on the call button within the UI (top right corner) and follow the instructions on the screen to setup the call. Please note that the separate call plug-in is made by Microsoft/Skype corp and has nothing to do with this app.

  • 5. When I resize the popup window, can I save it to the memory for next time usage?

    Yes, once you resize the window it will store the new size to the memory. Next time when you open the UI it will open in a new window.

  • 8. When I click on the toolbar button, can I make the popup to attach to the toolbar?

    No, currently there is no way to attach the popup to the toolbar (mini UI). In fact, this extension is designed to operate similar to chrome apps which opens a standalone and detached panel.
