Microsoft integrates Outlook and Skype in multiple countries

According to the U.S. Technology News CNET, Microsoft has integrated its two communication service – Outlook and Skype in many countries.

The technology giant on Monday claimed that video-calls and instant messaging service of Skype is now available for Outlook users in United States, Britain, Germany, France, Canada and Brazil. This means that people are able to use Skype services directly in their e-mailboxes. Early in April of this year, Microsoft has first proposed to launch this feature in Outlook.

“Email is an important and personal tool for most people, but there are moments when you want to be able to speak live or chat face-to-face,” said Dawn Martynuik, group product manager of Outlook.

  You can access Outlook with your Facebook or Gmail accounts. Therefore, Microsoft Skype integration seems to be the logical thing.

Last November, the company claimed that it would soon cancel its instant messaging client to support Skype.

In October last year, Skype executive said Skype would soon replace Messenger, but he did not give the specific time.
