For those that use Outlook.com for your email, you have a new feature rolling out (for some regions, as usual). Integrated Skype calling from within your Outlook.com window. Skype is a great service that allows you to make video and voice calls to others.

Having more features within Outlook.com is a great thing, and increasing your communications ability from within the single interface is excellent. Being able to answer an email with a face to face quick chat (or longer conversation) can be very helpful to many.

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. In a recent Ipsos Public Affairs poll 76% of people say that their email conversations frequently or occasionally result in a follow up phone or video call, or other means of communication. Those moments are perfect for Skype and now, face-to-face connection right from your inbox is just a click away.
