We’ll try to show you what are some of the cool features of Skype and Messenger and why you should USE BOTH apps. Since there’s no way of deciding which platform is better as they both have their own pros and cons, we thought of doing something more beneficial for you. Facebook, on the other hand, also carried on with upgrading their messaging app and platform – Facebook Messenger. Nevertheless, Microsoft continued with their work on improving Skype. Being faced with an additional sign up process, and having to remember yet another login credentials, can indeed be frustrating, regardless of the possible benefits it could have. It is no secret that people are sensitive to change.
That also implied a lot of humdrum work for the users, like migrating contacts and chat history, all at the expense of the overall users’ satisfaction. First ReactionsĪt first, this decision alienated numerous Skype users, since it meant that users who didn’t own a Microsoft account needed to open one in order to continue using the messaging platform. In other words, a single sign in using a Microsoft account now enables users to seamlessly login to Skype, Office Online, Outlook, OneNote, OneDrive, and other services. Microsoft announced the decision to discontinue this authentication method back in 2017 with an explanation that they wanted to create a single sign-on experience to all of its services. It is no longer possible to sign in to Skype using your Facebook credentials as of January 2018. Your Skype friends list will now only show friends that have been directly added through Skype.Editor’s Note: This post was originally published in November 2011 and has since been given a couple of serious face-lifts and updated for accuracy and relevance. Then click the X next to Skype and confirm the removal of Skype in the pop-up window and you're all set. Step 3: From the menu on the left-hand side, choose Apps. Step 2: Click the down arrow menu in the top right-hand corner of the Web site near your name and select Account Settings. Step 1: Head to your Facebook account in a Web browser.
Step 2: Click on the small cog to the far right-hand side and click Disconnect from Facebook. If you have this turned off by default, you can open the View menu and select Skype Home. But if this is a bit of information overload after a recent link of the two, unlinking them can be done in just a few steps on both services.
Linking Skype and Facebook allows you to see wall posts in the Skype Home window, which can be responded to and liked. Social media services and applications are always trying to make everything link together for our "convenience." Unfortunately, what's convenient for some is a nightmare for others, especially in the case of linking two large social media accounts together.
