Setting which IM client integrates with Outlook can be done via the Registry. For the value change required see: www.msoutlook.info/.../750

I had a similar issue with Lync being installed but not used with my Office 2013 Pro. I saw this on the Skype website blog.dabasinskas.net/skype-6-1-integration-with-outlook-doesnt-work and it worked for me.

Interesting that Outlook contacts don't have a field for Skype address / username yet. The IM and calling doesn't work if the email address is not the same as the skype persons contact email. eg skype user has accepted you at JoeBlogs123 and the email linked to that account is his personal one - Joe.Bloggs@home.com but you only have Joe.Bloggs@work.com as his email in Outlook?

typical problem I am facing - I have windows 8 enterprise, outlook 2010 and office communicator 2007 integrated with outlook on my laptop. After installing Skype, by default outlook got integrated with Skype, and I am not able to re-integrate outlook 2010 and communicator 2007. I believe this auto integration of Skype and outlook is not at all a good feature SINCE I NEED TO HAVE OUTLOOK 2010 AND COMMUNICATOR 2007 INTEGRATED. Can some one help ?

@Frank Fellows: i'm using Office 2013 RTGM with Windows 8, with Lync 2013 installed. You said that Lync has precedence over Skype but if I want to make a call (on VoIP like Skype) how can I do it? Lync doesn't allow to make call to contacts not in my Lync list.

Thanks

Hi,

Thanks for your comments--couple of thoughts/questions:

@Dewald and @David: Do you have Lync installed? If you have Lync installed at the same time, it takes precedence over Skype and will disable the Skype and Outlook integration as you can use Lync to connect with your contacts.

@Rino: Are you running Office Preview? Currently, Skype integration only works on Office 2010 and 2013 RTM.

Thanks,

Frank

I'm really disappointed :( I really don't like Outlook but I have always liked the Hotmail layout...now I will leave Microsoft and have to get a Gmail or Yahoo account (which I also don't really like). Really bad idea Microsoft...

Same here. Still no Skype calling from Outlook. Tried signing in with the same Microsoft account in Skype and Outlook - no effect.

Same here, have Office 2013 RTM and Skype 6.1 both installed, no sign of any integration, though...

It doesn't work if you ever had Lync/MOC installed. I wrote a short guide on how to get this fixed - blog.dabasinskas.net/skype-6-1-integration-with-outlook-doesnt-work
