While the company also allows you to report the contact as abusive which can notify the company moderators to stop the spammers from an early stage and not allow them to torture other Skype users.
You can in effect block a contact in Skype
- 1. Go to the “Recent Chats” or “Contacts” tab and select the contact you want to block.
- 2. Right-click the contact name and chose the “View profile” option from the menu.
- 3. In the profile of the contact, member scroll down to the bottom of the profile window and click the red colored “Block contact” option.
- 4. Skype will ask you to confirm if you want to block this particular contact and also if you want to report the abuse from this person by pressing the toggle button.
- 5. Press the “Block” button and the contact will effectively be blocked from your Skype account and removed from your contact list and chats.
Tips:
In case you receive an unwanted call from an unknown number, you have the privilege to block the number right ways from the chat. Just press the “Block + the number” link to block a particular number.
Q3: How do I delete all contacts on a Skype list with one click?
Every once in a while, you may find some contacts you no longer need in your Skype contacts – particularly after a quick call or a job interview. Generally, to delete a contact you’ll have to view the person’s profile details and then press the “Remove from contact list” option, but here I’ll be showing you a fairly easy and simple way to delete all your contacts at once.
To delete all your Skype contacts at once follow the steps:
- 1. Open Skype app and press the menu bar right next to your name. Select “Settings” to open the settings of Skype.
- 2. In the settings go to the “Contacts” tab on the left sidebar. This will show all the settings for contacts, go to “Privacy” settings.
- 3. In the Privacy settings, you will see all the other details. We need to go into the “View list” under the Profile section. This will reveal all your contacts in a list.
- 4. In the list, you’ll be presented with all your contacts. Deleting them is very easy, just left-click each or dotted menu option and select “Delete contact”. This way you won’t have to go into each contact’s profile to delete the particular contact.
Conclusion
Skype group chats allow multiple people to communicate face-to-face through time, space, and culture. The group chat feature of Skype mimics the important characters of interpersonal communication and can help boost confidence and expedite effective communication for students and teams across the office. I showed you an efficient way to make a group chat using Skype to collaborate and share your time with loved ones, coworkers, friends, and anyone for that matter to share the stuff that appeals to the particular group of people.
If you feel the same about the need for group chats like the one Skype offers, tell us about the applications you usually use for group chatting among your friends, family, and office staff in the comment section below.
