Skype Tips & Tricks

[lexus]

Well there are many blog posts and websites dedicate to tips and tricks for Skype but 99% apply to the Windows version.

So lets make this thread dedicated to tips & tricks for the mac version of skype.

I will start of with the Address Book tip:

If you click on a number in Address Book you can dial it with Skype Out.

P.S. If you know anywhere where I can get AppleScripts for skype please let me know.

Thanks

Did you know you can move self-image around in a video call? I did. (Simply click on the self-image in a video call and drag it wherever you want to). But I never realized you can make a meeting over Skype video look like you are present if the room is of a certain size - at least to yourself

With the launch of Skype version 2.5 for Mac more and more people will hopefully discover the usefulness of sending SMS via Skype. This morning I discovered really simple (but very well hidden) way to send SMS messages to contacts in my Mac's Address Book.

Simply click on their mobile number tab in their contact card (see the screenshot below) and the last choice in the drop down list is "Send SMS with Skype". No fiddling with copy-paste or adding new contacts. Click and send.

THere are loads here.

Edit: Skype AppleScript Devs go here.
