Bring back the Skype integration
The Skype ias apparently gone from Outlook.com beta, as the Skype button near the Settings cog icon is nowhere to be found. I think many users didn't like the integration (there was no way to completely disable it) but it still was a nice feature for Skype users.

Update January 2018:
Skype is back! :)
More improvements to the Skype integration will come in the future, but for now, please enjoy the upgraded Skype chat experience!
P.S.: If you wish to mute notifications, you can do so in the Settings panel under General > Skype > Notifications.

Auto-Skype was an annoyance to many - constantly refreshing causing lag
For those who want Skype, please make sure it is user-controlled opt-in - not a hidden opt-out.

Skype added clutter. Does anyone actually use the integrated Skype anyway? Seems silly to me and a waste of resources and screen space.

The Skype and e-mail are the same messaging system. They need to be on the same window.

While I like the new beta of Outlook, I am badly missing skype integration. So, going back to the older version to have that feature.

I could not go on Skype. Maybe you could let people use it? Over all, I liked it though. I think it was very good of you guys to put a switch for if you wanted to use the old one or the beta.

Gostei de tudo mas esqueceram de colocar o Skype. Essa é a unica razão de me fazer voltar para a versão anterior. O App do Skype nunca funciona no meu computador e a única forma de usar o Skype é atravez do Skype do outlook.

No veo Skype al lado izquierdo de configuración, yo utilizo skype a menudo y es frustrante estar abriendo en la version nueva una nueva ventana para usar skype pudiendolo poner a como lo hacian en la version anterior un panel solo para ello.

Well I definitely want skype integrated, but do it like you have it now with regular Outlook where you aren't automatically signed in but it signs you in when you click the skype conversation bubble icon in the upper right next to my name. For users that don't want skype as part of the email page, perhaps make a setting where it can be turned off/disabled
