If you use the official Skype extension for Google Chrome, it just got a little more useful. The latest update to the extension now lets you easily add a link to a Skype call to any email, tweet or calendar event with one click.
Each integration is accessible via a clearly labeled button across Outlook, Google Mail and Calendar, and Twitter. From Microsoft (opens in new tab):
- Email: Add a Skype call link from within the email composition window in Gmail, Google Inbox, and Outlook.com.
- Calendar: Create Skype call links right inside your calendar items in Google Calendar and Outlook.com.
- Twitter: Add a Skype call link for an "Ask Me Anything," webinar, or open meeting while you're composing your tweet.
Prior to this update, the Skype extension simply acted as a way to quickly access messages and calls while browsing the web. If you're a Chrome user and want to check out these handy new tools for yourself, you can grab the Skype extension from the Chrome Web Store now.
